Christmas Day

Yes, it was the most unusual Christmas with no traditional Mexican casserole. Ellen’s oven is broken so we didn’t have the cinnamon rolls either.

Most kids were awake by 8:00am. I was up earlier doing some reading. Ellen was able to make some omelets and sausage and fresh cut up pineapple for breakfast.

As we sat downstairs in the basement, the kids enjoyed exchanging gifts. Ellen gave her own baby blanket that Lois Paul made 43 years ago to 3 1/2 year old Amanda. And also the Julie doll and bed that Julie Beekman made. My heart is blessed.

As we were listening to Christmas music, Ellen gave line-dancing instructor the popular song “All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey. Fun fun!

I took a nap from 3:30pm - 7:15pm. I must have been tired. Then we watched the movie “Elf” which Glenn and I had never seen before. Cute and funny movie.

8 year old Elizabeth made me a special card.

Merry Christmas to all.Read more
