Oh I see, sometimes I am slow, sorry, Tina.

Yes, you are right there, about the food she preoares, Tina.....I often wonder if her DH knows just how lucky he is...

I made 20 pies from large to small. I am sick of the smell of meat lol

DH is spoiled when it comes to food...and it is all my fault.

DH is hard working also, though. He sounds like he's always moving. And helping neighbors when he can.
Much like my John was.

Good morning (here). Tomorrow night is solstice, the longest night of the year. I like seeing it go by because it does nothing but get shorter and shorter for the next six months. More sun by increments each day.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Anyone want to make cookies for me tomorrow?

I'd bake you some but they would be mighty stale by the time they reached you, Sunny.

Had a good time on the Santa Express tonight ( an old old train that does a 2-1/2 hour ride
And the kids are the grinch, santa, frosty the snowman and much more.

Heidi won at Bingo and got candy so that made her night.

In the morning I will get to go home for the weekend. We are having the Dudley Family Christmas party tomorrow evening...I cannot wait.
If I cannot see you before, I will be back to this house Sunday at some point.

Thanks, Tina.

I am enjoying a cup of coffee before I begin my preparations to go home.

Merry (early) Christmas to you all.

Colt is coming to town today smile We'll have our Christmas on Monday night so they can go home on Tuesday for Christmas Eve.

Junie have you ever done the Polar Express? Must be similar to your Santa Express. We went a few years ago and I guess it was worth the money - a train ride to look at decorations and your picture with Santa. Not something I'd want to do again and none of the grans have mentioned going back. It was fun because the family was together and it was Christmas but nothing over the top.

Have a safe and fun trip Junie.

Merry early Christmas to you and your family Bestofour.

Tina, does Teddy still do the 'Santa routine?'

The kids went to my moms for an hour...which was good because I was doing all the special Christmas baking today and they were on their last 'be good warning', she took them over so I could clean up the mess. They'll decorate their gingerbread men when they get back.

If there is such a thing as re-incarnation...I'm coming back as a man haha

Boy, this decade is fast. Someone on tv just asked what is the biggest thing that happened since 2010. I thought 2010 sounded like yesterday. But it began this decade that's just ending. Time makes some odd loops.

Yes, Sunny. Teddy loves Santa Claus. I don't know how much he understands the magic and stories of all that, but he loves the man. He always has. If he wasn't too old, I'd take him to sit on his lap. But Ted is 25 and I dare not take him into a McDonald's with a play space cause he'd take off his shoes and jump in with all the other little ones. His favorite movies are ones like The Santa Clause and stuff. It's good to have my forever baby with me.

I'm with Teddy. I love Santa too. This has been a fast decade. I've gotten really old.

Thank you Sunny. It's actually nice to have an early Christmas. We'll go to Shelley's at the crack of dawn (because that's when the kids will be up) and take a gander at their gifts and then we'll go to my sisters for lunch. My mother and step dad will be there.

Speaking of my mother and step dad, tomorrow after church we're going to where they live and listen to carolers. Ginger and the gang are here but Colt is going fishing with Colby after church so he won't be with me.

I'm going to try and post a picture of Ginger with the girls and another of me with the girls and then the brothers and sisters. We shall see.

I love the pics...thanks for sharing kissie

Tina, it would be nice to have a set day or time that 'forever children' could play at such places, to be able to sit and take a pic with Santa and such as well. We have a 40 year old niece in that situation but she has Sturge Webber so people realize right away that she has special needs.

The grands are sill sleeping. It was after 11 pm by the time they settled down for bed....the cookie decorating had them in full swing. lol

The cookie decorating was important. So glad they can still sleep in.
I'm up for now but it won't be for long. I'll be napping.

Yes Sheri, such nice pictures ! Looks and sounds as if you will have a wonderful Christmas..so happy for you.
Sunny...sounds like you were busy as well. And sleeping grands are wonderful.
Tina..believing in Santa is wonderful. It makes Christmas so much more special..no matter the age.

Sounds like you all had and are having a wonderful Christmas season weekend.

I had a good time with my family. Momma was even there. So sad when it ends. But still a great time.

GB is still here, the roads were terrible with the few inches of snow on the old ice. I am hoping to take him up at lunch time. I want some time to rest before my house is filled with people starting again tomorrow.

Good Morning.

I hope the roads are better for traveling soon, Sunny.

Today Val and I will take the kids to a Christmas store. Then when I get home I will make cookies. Christmas will be here tomorrow night.
