Christmas at my Mom's

Christmas at my Mom's has grown! We have so many people now that we are in competition with the Linn's! It's wild and crazy and fun at present opening time. Here all the grandchildren are opening their presents. The adults have a tradition that we each have a stocking and we each put a "little" something in every one's stocking. Usually the "little" turns out to be bigger than a little something! :) We have a lot of fun doing it. We go around the room, each of us taking a turn pulling one thing out of our stocking! We really drag it out that way. But it's so much fun! We love being together.

Well, I am off to my sister Joni's house for more fun and celebration. The girls and I will bring in the New Year at her house! No doubt, staying up till midnight and toasting each other with fake campaign. And what will we be doing until midnight you ask? Why playing card games of course! Probably phase ten.

Danny is staying home because he has some kind of virus. :( Boo Hoo, we are all very sad about that.

God Bless, and Happy New Year!
