The Day Before The Day Before........

The clock is quickly ticking and the big day will soon be here. We enjoyed our Grandsons, Rob and Ted today....we celebrated the day before the day before.....in other words the day before Christmas Eve. So, we had a fun day beginning with breakfast out, a few errands, home to watch a little TV, a trip to Starbucks for hot chocolate and then back to their house, where Shari had prepared a delicious dinner for all of us. Grampa played wii with the boys, shari baked awesome cookies, which Tom and I totally enjoyed. Boy, I am going to be in big trouble if I keep this up!

There are many party invitations within the Park, but as I am still recovering from my accident, it has been convenient to stop for just a few minutes, pay our respect and head back to our comfy nest.

Christmas Eve will find us at Church Candle Light Service and then to Tom and Shari's for a delicious buffet. Shari prepares a beautiful table and includes Tom's family.....just the cousins exchange gifts.

Christmas morning.....at the crack of dawn....we go back to watch Rob and Ted open their gifts and we open family gifts. This is precious time with the boys and an event that we love to be part of. Later in the afternoon we will return for a full turkey dinner that both Tom and Shari prepare. I am so blessed to have these two children make the holidays so special for us. Not only is the food the best, but Shari sets a beautiful table that is a joy to sit down to. Tom is a master chef with the turkey, dressing and gravy.

Before we know it, the day will slip by, memories will be made and another year will begin. We will greatly miss Tiffany, Randy and Dana, but they will be included in our thoughts and prayers. HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS.
