Merry Christmas!

My sister told the kids no one was to be downstairs before 7:00 am to open presents....and if someone was, they had to start coffee and make breakfast. About 6:58 am Sarah was coming unglued.  She was banging on my door to wake up.  She didn't know I had been awake since about 6:15 am.  Yes, the festivities started early, but who can complain!  Seeing the kids faces after unwrapping each surprise was so absolutely amazing and worth waiting for.  Yes, I will load pictures...eventually.

For those of you that know me well, and for those of you that have read the "About Me" section on the left hand side of my entries.  This will excite you.  Probably not nearly as much as me...but here goes.  My sister and brother in law are taking me to go whale watching!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh my goodness, you have no clue how excited I was when I opened that envelope.  Yep, I cried.  I assure you, for most of the day I've been singing "I'm going whale watching.  I'm going whale watching"!  I am fascinated by the big ole creatures.  Did I say I was thrilled about this??  Ha ha.

I hope Christmas brought you as much joy as it did for me.  I hope you've counted your blessings and taken the time to be grateful for family, friends, a home cooked meal, a place to rest your head and of course the belief in miracles.  Merry Christmas!!!!

I sure do love y'all.
