Today is December 28th the space in between Christmas and New Years. This week really flew by fast. On Wednesday after I left work at W.S. I stopped at the grocery store to stock up on cookie decorating goodies for that evening. I baked the sugar cookies & the table was laid out with everything they needed to create cookie masterpieces for Santa. I was ready for the arrival of my grandkids. They are each so creative and each one has their own style.. some are very methodical and precise and others are just fun & fast. Of course the one who has the most fun is the one who believes the most and that is Tyler. My grandson Logan was not feeling well so he gave me permission to create his cookies for him.. while he laid on the couch. We then watched the CD of "The Reflections of Christ". A request from my grandaughter Morgan, who wanted to watch something with the theme of the birth of our savior this year. It is a beautiful story presented by photographer Mark Mabry as they take you behind the scenes as Mark recreates and photographs the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. It was an early evening with kids off to their homes and beds to await the arrival of Santa.
Christmas afternoon we all gathered at my son Steve's home to un-wrap gifts from each other. It is a very fun tradition we have of sitting in a large circle and taking turns un-wrapping from youngest to oldest. Each one of my grandchildren know exactly who they come after and before and we go around the circle one at a time, sharing in the excitement and fun of each gift. Everyone was very happy with their gifts and we then had our Christmas buffet. We each bring something for the dinner. It is a Christmas evening tradition that we go to a movie together. I was really tired after working every day this week and knowing I had to get up at 4 a.m. to be at work by 6 a .m. so I chose not to go to the movies.
At W.S. the next morning I got to disassemble the Christmas displays & trees in the front windows and re- set them with the new visuals. My friend Lynn and I were a team on this project. They turned out great and we then continued to put up new visuals in the store. It was a fun morning, lots of energy as we all re-set the store and cleared out the Christmas displays.
"Girls Night In Party" on Saturday was really fun. There were 9 of us talking, eating and having a great time. We ended the evening with a gift exchange and I traded until I got my hands on the cute snowman that Charlie brought. I was the 3rd trade, so I knew that it was mine. score .. I love these evenings and I think everyone had a great time.
Now I need to get busy with my class schedule and get my samples prepared so I can start
sign-ups for January classes. I leave for Idaho to visit Judy the end of the month.. So I need to get busy.
