Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve and my late Dad’s birthday.  Miss him so much but especially at this time of year.    

We had an exciting phone call this morning, our granddaughter Laci called from Italy to get permission for opening her Christmas package—she talked to us on the phone as she opened the present and was very excited when she saw what we got her.  I took one of the awesome photos they as a family had made this past October, sent it to Costco.com and had the photo placed on a 4 foot long piece of canvas.  It was just spectacular—one of the best Christmas presents I’ve ever thought of!

Tonight we enjoyed a wonderful family evening at Lonn and LoraLee’s.  Our oldest granddaughter Katie and her husband Michael were there as well as Nat.  The meal was outstanding, crab legs, ham, roasted potatoes, salad plus pumpkin pie and cherry cheesecake pie for dessert.  We exchanged gifts—Katie and Laci gave us some of the framed photographs the family had made in October.  We loved everything we were gifted with and I think our gifts were also a success! 

Late this evening we headed back over the mountain to our side and sent Nat on his way back to town.  One more sleep.  And, I’m typing this blog on the present my sweet Santa gave me, a new Toshiba laptop!!!  Don’t I have a nice Santa??? 

May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day. May your New Year be healthy, happy and prosperous. May our fellow RV travelers have safe travels.
