As I got up early to put a breakfast bake in the roaster (a whole nother story!) I can’t help to smile and think all is well with our little part of the world.
See I’m sitting on the couch staring out the french doors and the two kitties who have taken ownership of our dogs new Christmas beds, and have blankets and gifts that are all around my feet from last night. We have boxes and bags along with extra chairs and pillows in the room. But who cares right? We also have all our kids still in their bedrooms tucked away from the blizzard cold outside along with their bellies full from supper last night.
So as I’m sitting here with the house quiet for a few hours before everyone gets up, I’m thinking there is absolutely no other place in the world I’d rather be than right here and right now.
I was thinking about how we opened our exchange gifts last night while the Traditional Scrooge movie was on and then it was time to open the ‘Ma’ gifts. This was something new to our family this year and I was super excited to hand them out. And they looked GREAT! See we all had matching pajamas for Christmas Eve and it was a hoot!! I had to laugh because Kyle said as the weekend went on and we all continued to wear our pajamas every night (and a good part of days) that it seemed like he was in the movie Groundhog Day. In this movie the day just keeps starting the same every morning for days and days, and the main character is wearing the same clothes all the time 🙂
Come to think about it, I wouldn’t mind replaying this weekend over and over. It was just perfect!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! 
So Cool!! Ya’ll look like that commercial on tv where she says, “Don’t come in, I’m wrapping your present!” And there he is in the doorway, in the pajamas the same as your family’s, and the present she’s wrapping is Another set of those same pjs. So funny! And the narrator says, “When you realize you are not a very ingenious gift giver…”
