Merry Christmas Everyone

I hope you all had the best Christmas weekend ever! As you may know, our two oldest children and their families live in Ukraine now - so killer, not having them with us. For one of our gifts, Brooke made this Christmas video. I'll share it with you now:
Ahhhh ... memories!
Best part of Christmas for me: watching the kids most excited to see the other ones open the gifts they gave to them! (yes, I have great children!)
What was the best thing about your Christmas?

Stroll With Me

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks! I celebrated my birthday with my oldest daughter, Brooke, who is exactly 29 years, 364 days younger than me. Her husband gave us both gift cards for pedicures to celebrate together.


Just to prove that even when thing are crazy I can stay calm, I took a picture of the readings of my vitals:


Grandson, Gage, and Buddy the dog, really hit it off!


I helped Brooke and Steven pack up ALL their belongings in preparation to move to Ukraine.


Brief respite from packing ...


Early Christmas celebration included our "pageant"


After sending our kids to the other side of the world, Brad and I headed to Texas


My parents throw an annual Egg Nog Party ... Decorating and preparing takes many many days ... But Mom has a great eye for beauty and her home looks gorgeous!


Yum.


Final prep before guests arrive


Sunday dinner made by Dad


I actually traveled on my birthday to Texas and had this great stuff waiting for me


It's been a really crazy couple of weeks ... But oh-so-filled-with-joy. Nothing beats spending time with family.


I'm now on a plane, getting ready to leave Albuquerque for Vegas ... Home to my teenagers. I'm so excited for Christmas! Thanks for joining me on my stroll.
