Christmas

Wow, December just flew by! All the busy that goes with the holidays.

It was close there for awhile, I had to make a phone call to Santa and tell him not to come because Grace was being naughty. She was finally good enough that Santa called me back and said he'd come bring a gift to Grace this year. With Jeremy's schedule and going to Douglas on Christmas Eve afternoon, Santa decided to come on Christmas Eve Eve. She got a bicycle from Santa, unfortunately is got banged up in his sack and the chain would slip off when she tried to pedal. We got a replacement. Anna got a tent with a tunnel/tube to go through. There was some squabbling, but they mostly enjoyed their gifts.

At Grandma and Grandpa's they got lots of toys. Play-doh was the big hit for Grace and Anna liked the easel; she could draw. The girls are staying in Douglas for a week to hang out with Grandma & Grandpa.

We intended to leave on Saturday, but the weather was horrible. The wind was ferocious and was blowing the snow, so there was limited visibility. The interstate south was closed, so we turned around and came back. Grace seemed slightly disappointed that we were back.

I'm hoping to get toys cleaned out and put away or discarded, the Christmas tree down and lots of sewing done while the girls are away. Jeremy made the comment last night that it was so quiet....how true that is.
