• It was one of the most fabulous Christmas’s ever.  It is the first year of our married life that we stayed home for the morning aspect and then joined the family later.  It was really nice.  We relaxed and slept in.  I let Brian and Serra~V~ sleep a little longer while I got up and ready and started  breakfast.  Egg burritos per Brian’s request.  Brian got up and helped get Serra dressed in her new Christmas frock that I finished just the other night.  We ate a nice breakfast with fresh squeezed OJ as well.  When we tried to get the boogus to come downstairs she must have figured something was up and got nervous and wouldn’t come down.  So we got her a milk and she was all fixed.  Down she came to her newly refurbished red wagon, new wooden rocker and stool, and a mound of presents from the Anderson clan.  We spent the next hour opening gifts.  Serra secured a new dolly, dolly blanket, stroller, and dolly accessories, books and clothes and paints .(thanks alot Grandpa and Grandma Gee)  She also got a little cash to add to her college fund.  Her stocking had some new hair things and some beaded necklaces.  She immediately “dressed up” and spent the rest of the morning fussing with her babies.  We had to drag her away so we could head up to Calabasas to join the fray. 

  
  

  The rest Christmas lasted until the skies began to darken.  We were treated well by our Arnell family as well.  Lots of new frocks, some books, beautiful framed art work, tools, and even some rolled grains.  The memories were great as usual with a great combination of inspiring and humourous thoughts and reminiscences. 

  
  

  When the game of RISK began it became nearly impossible to think let alone hear each other talk.  But we managed conversation anyhow. 

  
  

  It was a wonderful day, full of good treats, thoughtful gifts, and fantastic company.  Thankyou all for a wonderful CHristmas. 

  
  

  I will post pictures in a few days or when I get an hour or so to do it.
