“Christmas Comes This Time Each Year”- Beach Boys

This has to be the dumbest line in a Christmas song- ever! DUH!!!

We had the Christmas in Wentzville and Centralia, and even here in Olathe. We have our Iowa Christmas next week.

Nathan was told he couldn’t open presents until Aunt Jen came. She finally came and he gave her a hug and ran to the tree and began to open presents! We were still downstairs greeting Jen! He got his shiny new bowling ball.

 Along with his own bowling shirt and rolling bag for his ball. He is quite the bowler. We went bowling on Monday and will go again before the new year I think. Maybe tomorrow after church.

Bud and I got matching “Thunderworld Computers” t-shirts that are embroidered.

Bud and I went out and saw “YES MAN” at the theatre. It was funny. Not like fall out of your seat funny…. but funny.  I have been feeling pretty down lately… Missing my sister and dad a bit, and I was diagnosed with plantar fascitus in my right foot and it is pretty painful. So- I needed a laugh or two.

WALL-E! (M-O)

Nathan asked for “Corn Dogs” at the Santa at the Tree Farm.  He asked for WALL-E toys from the Santa we get pictures at, and he asked for a WALL-E cake at the Santa at his pre-school.

Aunt Jen brought him Corn Dogs… Here he is with one of his WALL-E toys and below is the WALL-E cake.

So- anyway— that is the main highlights of our Christmas. We went to our friend’s the Robidoux’s for lunch on Christmas day and played UNO Flash.

Today is “Clean UP!” day- the house is a mess- from all the comings and goings of the past few weeks and since I left Sorenson a few weeks ago- I am beginning to get some things organized. We definitely have too much “stuff!” andwe need to downsize- It is hard because I am a “memory” person. Things I find and come across- bring such memories and I hve a hard time letting g0.  But it is time to say “goodbye” to these so I can say “hello” to new memories.

Well, I have work to do— until I have time and ability to write again. Thanks for reading.
