Woke up early to the smell of wonderful coffee, it smelled different today, we have an automatic timer and it is set for 6am, most of the time I am up before then. I was waiting with anticipation for all to get here. Families is what Christmas is all about and everyday is a new day and a day the Lord has made. I listen to Joel Osteen, it was for me today, so I knew it was going to be a beautiful day. I try to take messages I hear and apply it to my life and I knew that is what I had to do today.
Christmas at my house, it was full of laughter, them boys of Nancy's are fun. Bruce was not there home sick and i missed him. Rocky is so full of laughter, but he has got a grip of really being a dad. he is a very good dad, so is buck. they take parenting very seriously. yes-mam, no-mam, yes-sir no-sir, thank you, please and all those polite things, children have got away from. parents are too busy.
We had so much enjoyment watching the kids open all those quilts and spread them out. We started with the youngest first, then went up in age. They are all different.I got all the girls flannel sheets and pajamas. the boys I gave money for their extra. we totally forgot Nancy's milk cans, they are old and needs a lot of work on them. I don't know why we forgot them. everyone had left when we thought of them. She always stays and helps clean up. not so much mess with all the kids being bigger. no spills, easy clean up. they all have their electronics to play with. Deanna mom, sister. and nephew was here also.
I made a big pot of chicken and dumplins and home made rolls. everyone always enjoys them. we original was going to have finger foods, but different ones wanted dumplins so I made some. they wanted cinnamon rolls also but i didn't make them. next time maybe.
I made some of Vi Yarbrough almond rocha candy and gave cans of it away for presents, sent some to work with Nancy also. I also made a recipe with saltine crackers and almond bark, that Nancy gave me, it is so good and so different.
I have been trying to get all brothers and sisters to come Sat for a get together, Edward is the only one so far that cannot come until evening. He is working at a boat factory, and is working different hours. Well good night for now
GOD BLESS ALL

Wow that sounds like so much fun. Ours was so quiet, Lonely but quiet was necessary as we plotted out our problem.
Wish I could be there on Saturday but I just can't make it, Not sure what we will do, hope to at least get out of this HOUSE.
I just wanted to say thanks, all those many years ago when Charles and I were in Ark you gave me the recipe for your chicken and dumplings my family has loved it over the years I just made some this last weekend. So yummy!
Mashelle so glad you are enjoying them, did not remember that, it has been so long ago. I do remember your visit, do it again someday.
