December 25, 2012

Merry Christmas! Ours wasn’t white, but Meredith and Michelle sent pictures of fresh snow in Loveland.  Aren’t they so lucky?! 

Brent, Bill, and I went to Waffle House for a late breakfast.  As we drove up, Brent commented that they weren’t very busy.  Luckily, we could park right in front of the door.  It was raining hard and we just had a few steps to take to the door.

Not long after placing our orders, people started arriving and soon there was a waiting line.  We got there just at the right time.

Bill and I both took naps.  Coleson and Sara were with their other grandparents for Christmas dinner.  Brent and Willie were in the house.  There were tornados alerts for some of the counties around us, but none in this particular area.  Just hard wind and hard rain.

Brent said he was in his bedroom and heard paper rattling.  He went into the living room and Willie had one of his presents, a raw hide bone, nearly unwrapped.  Brent had put it back against the wall under a lot of other presents.  Willie nosed everything aside that was in the way and got to his present!

Coleson and Sara arrived at 3:30.  The first order of business was to open the packages.  Both kids got lots of clothes.  Sara was excited about that and Coleson was rather neutral.  It must be a gender thing.  She modeled most of her gifts and Coleson worked on his Kindle.  Later on he was wearing one of the sweatshirts Brent had given him.

We sat down for our Christmas dinner at about 7:00.  As usual, Brent served a very nice, traditional meal.  He’s a wonder in the kitchen and seems to enjoy it.

This was a wonderful Christmas day for us.  We were with some kids and talked to all the rest, some more than once.  What more could a Mom and Dad want!?
