That’s right, 48 hours until Christmas morning. The boys are getting amped up! Yesterday was a blur. I was seemingly everywhere and don’t remember much. Avi was over playing with the boys from 9 am on for I don’t know how long. They sure have fun with each other, especially our youngest and Avi. Sometime in the morning the misses was standing in the kitchen when I heard her scream. Somehow her hip went out, the same hip that started this whole headache thing. She couldn’t stand or even walk so I managed to get her to the couch and grabbed the heating pad. I feel so bad for her but just don’t know what to do. We’re praying for some divine intervention to sure her.
The boys played up at Grandma’s after Aunt Robi and Robert arrived around 2pm. I was out working and made it home by about 5pm and then rushed to change shirts to head up to Grandma’s for the big party. We had some food brought in from one of my accounts and all had a fun evening being together for the first time in a long long time. The only person missing was my Dad but that’s life. I’m sure he was looking down happily on all of us. We had of course my Mom, Uncle T and Aunt Ali, Aunt Shelly, Aunt Robi, Robert, Tasha, Derek (her husband) Avi, the misses, the boys and I. We took a bunch of pictures that we’ll share after Tasha emails them to me. It’s a little after 5am right now and they should be leaving for the airport to catch their 8:10 flight to St. Louis where Derek’s parents live. It was a nice feeling to have everyone together, I think my Mom really enjoyed all the activity but I’m not too sure about Popcorn, her little dog.
Today the oldest, Aunt Robi, Robert and I are going to the Broncos game. Right after that, our family goes over to the oldest guys friends house where they have the same Santa (maybe the real one!) who shows up every year to give the kids gifts. Then we need to leave there and head over the Mark and Carries to visit with them and exchange gifts so it’ll be a busy busy day. Lucky I slept in until 4:30. I was planning on sleeping in longer but sometimes the misses talks in her sleep and last night was one of those nights! A little after 2am I woke up hearing her say something like, “I already have that prescription” Â and then it was on and off dozing for me until 4:30. Good news is I can get to the gym and run a couple of miles and be home before anyone is up. Bad news is I’m usually yawning by 7 or 8 at night! At this rate, I’ll have no trouble going to sleep in time on Christmas eve so Santa can come.
That’s it, no musings on the World, societies failings, gun control, politics and other stuff today or for awhile. I’m going to just try to focus on Christmas and the family. Here’s a comment from Grandma Annette,
We will be on our way to Oregon in a couple of hours. Serena and Matt’s plane was cancelled last night. To L.A. no less! They stayed at the boat. Right now it is very windy and raining really hard, hope it slows down a little. Everyone take care, your pakage arrived a few days ago. Have not opened it yet.
So, take care, embrace the day, your family, God and your life. We’ll be talking to you all over the next few days but probably not today (at least me) but the misses should be around if you want to call her. God Bless.
