Hi Everyone: Today was one of those days when I got up let the dog out and fed her and returned to bed. I stayed in my pajamas all day! Well, at least until I called my daughter and found out that her husband and her had been invited to a party. I asked if she wanted me to pickup the boys and bring them here so she would have a little quiet time before her evening outing. So before we went and picked up the boys I brought up the Christmas tree and got it put together and plugged it in. I just love this tree, it is about 7ft. tall and works like an umbrella and it is all pre-lit! So easy. Tomorrow the boys and I will finish putting on the ornaments. I Love getting ready for the Christmas season. We picked up the boys around 3:00 and got home and then got them dressed for some sledding. Yes, I said sledding. We had around 2" of snow Thanksgiving day and there was enough left on the ground for them to have a little fun. PaPa and Grandma tired before they did. We had dinner, and then it was time to swim in the big bath tub as they call it. (That's the Hot tub) So I let PaPa have some one on one with them! :) They are now enjoying some popcorn while watching the Incredible's, then it is off to bed!

I hope that you all had many reason to count your Blessings this past week. I know that I am grateful for every day that God gives me to enjoy my children, grandchildren, family and many friends. I have experienced to many times in my life how in the moment in the tinkling of an eye life on this earth can be over. So don't take it for granted and count each day a blessing.

God Bless until we chat again,

Grandma Cheryl
