Christmas ------Yeah

Well we recovered from Christmas and it was fantastic... all went well and the food was fantastic... Joann made her rice pudding and well after thirds i was full... the year end was hell on the waist line... i made the mistake of weighting in last nite and well i have gone up 10 pounds in less than a month... it must be the cold weather... that's my excuse and i am sticking to it... the kids had a great time.. it was great to see my niece Chris her husband John and their baby daughter Emily, what a little cutie... They had flown out from Louisiana to visit. This is the first time most of us have gotten to see the new baby... i believe she is now 6 mo.s old.. also Cindy flew in from Raligh North Carolina for a few days. She is manager of a Starbucks and working on doing drug and alcohol counseling and Jeff drove down from Sacramento, he works at the state capital, he will be leaving on Thursday because he has tickets to the UCLA football game... love it.. the kids spent the day playing with their toys as well as the adults " helping them"... i think they had just as much fun doing puzzles and reading and assembling legos... i had gotten Mom a electronic sudoko game.. she is now hooked... its one of her favorite news paper games... now even easier.. tip for the day ... invest in batteries... well i am off for a walk, got some poundage to get rid of.... take care and have a happy new year...
