Jag had a great birthday and we all enjoyed celebrating with him. We picked the boys up from school after Lori went to the office and I went to a couple of appointments. On the way home we stopped at Dairy Queen for an ice cream cake. At 3, Uncle T and Aunt Ali and Grandma showed up for his family party. He proceeded to open his presents and finally opened his new Microsoft Surface which is a tablet computer all in one. Grandma Dixie and Pa Don, my Mom and Lori and I all chipped in to make this happen and Jag could not be happier. We were on the fence about getting him this but in this day and age it’s critical that kids have computer skills, plus we trust him enough to stay away from inappropriate things. He’s still ecstatic working on it this morning. Thank you to those of you that helped make this happen.
Jen showed up around 5:15 dressed up in heels and a skirt looking 16! We left for dinner at 5:30 for our 6:15 reservations and boy are we lucky we did as the Christmas traffic was horrible. We arrived at Elways right at 6:15 and were shown to our table. The kids had a blast eating shrimp, steak and finally dessert. I had some Colorado lamb and Lori had red pepper soup plus dessert. We left at 8 or so and were home by 8:30. Jen hung out until around 9pm when her Mom picked her up.
Jag and Ty and Jen are all so grown up. Sometimes when you’re around them every day you don’t realize just how grown up they really are. Kids know a lot more these days than you’d think they do.
Today I have only one more purchase order to get which is from New York. Then I’m done for the year. I think we’re putting up the party tent in the driveway tomorrow to get ready for Fridays big bash. Uncle T’s birthday is tomorrow and then we have a party to go to tomorrow night for a bit. Tis the season for parties!
Time to run, Lori is helping Ty with homework and we need to get the kids lunches packed. We also need to start thinking about getting some presents for all of you! See how together we are this year, we’re starting early!
Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
