Merry Christmas Hangover

Now that all the excitement is over, it's time for the Hangover. Not the alcohol induced hangover, rather the "Oh did I really eat that much" hangover. The kind that kind of puts you in a stupor or "sugar shock" for a few days. But, don't have time for that. Have to get cleaned up, cleaned out, moved around, and get back to normal kind of day. No, not taking the trees down for a couple of days, just need to get the gifts put up, laundry done, and a good overall cleaning.

The house is quiet with the exception of the TV playing in the background, the washer spinning, and the hum from the four wheeler next door. I don't think they are going to be able to get Carter off that thing!
Seth turned it over yesterday when he was riding it. Just a few bruises and scrapes. Eli reminded me he turned ours over when he was just 3 or 4. I think he was more like 5, but that's not to be debated, only the fact that GRANDPA was supposed to be supervising. I do believe Tristen also did a "wheelie" when she was younger and it threw her off the back. Oh well, at least no broken bones or ER visits, so for that we are thankful!

I never realized how Christmas "really" went until last night when Sherrill was talking to his sister, telling her what we had gotten for Christmas. It came out of his mouth so smoothly........"Judy got two saws, and I got a cookbook, cooking magazine, waffle maker, lots of food and drink, butter, and honey and other things for the kitchen, and oh, some clothes." Who would have thought that this old woman would have been happy with her saws, and he was ecstatic over his waffle maker, it was of course, the one he had learned how to operate in the hotel's breakfast bar, that cooks for 1 1/2 minutes on one side, then you flip it over for another 1 1/2 minutes. He showed off his mad cooking skills as soon as he opened it!

We are blessed to have 6 marvelous kids, and their spouses (even when they don't like us some of the time),
17 adorable grandkids (that know we have their backs, and will ALWAYS take their sides)
and 1 special great-grandchild...... that we couldn't find yesterday!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, one that you will remember for many years to come.
