Enjoying Christmas, beginning with Todd, Andee, and sweet Madison

Just popping in quickly to tell you that I'm still around.  Andee, Todd, and Madison got here around lunch time on Christmas Eve. 

It made Christmas extra special for us. Lynn was on call and had to stay pretty close to home so we didn't get to see her and the other four grandchildren...on my side anyway. We plan to go see them after the holidays and deliver our gifts.

Andee was opening a gift from Todd, as was I. But I stopped unwrapping mine when I saw that in Andee's package was a pair of new Crocs. Oh, I bemoaned, Andee got new Crocs, and I love the color!  I would love to have a pair just like those! Well, look what was in my package! Talk about being tickled! The feet on the left, wearing the really nice pajamas, belong to me. :)

It has been a fun Christmas for us all...animals included.

Andee, Todd, and Madison have gone home now but we are enjoying Poppy's daughter Windy, her husband Brian and our other two grandsons, Jacob and Luke. It has been four years since we have seen them, so this is really special. 

It's funny, this morning we all sat around the table playing a new board game the boys got for Christmas. We finished the game, Windy won. We ate sandwiches for lunch. Windy mentioned they might like to ride to our little town to look around. Well, Poppy and I sat down in the living room. Next thing I knew, I was opening my eyes from a much needed nap and seeing Poppy sound asleep in his chair. The house was quiet. All four of them had gotten dressed and slipped out the front door leaving us asleep. Neither of us heard a thing. Guess they figured us old folks needed a break. :)

They should be back soon so. We are taking lots of pictures from their visit. 

Thank you for the nice comments on last post. I had no idea so many of you still like fruit cake. Oh, and the fruit cake made with graham crackers and coconut and packed inside the empty cracker box...that is my very favorite!! I still have mama's recipe and will share it in my next post. Ya'll please come back.

Love,
Henny
