Christmas Eve 2016




The little man was feeling much better today.  And so after Judy dropped by to leave a basket, we went shopping.  They each had a twenty dollar bill from Nana Nita and it was burning a hole in my wallet apparently.  They picked their gift and loved doing so.  Then we went home to wait for Uncle Pat to arrive for our traditional eve fair.
In the mail was an amazon package.  Now my first thought is that all the stuff I had ordered online had already been delivered.  The last thing I expected was a gift in the mail.  And yet that is exactly what I got.  In the package was a regal gift card to take the littles to a movie.  And it is wonderful timing as we were just talking about going and seeing "Moana".  How grateful am I for a friend who has obviously picked up on my attitude that experiences and the memories are better than the material. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am blessed in many many ways.
Then Pat arrived and he brought a gift for the littles to have tonight.  It is a throwback Atari.  He set it up and the littles have played and played.  They have gotten a tad frustrated with having to learn how to play it and having to share and take turns.  But it is where you begin.  At the beginning, learning how games and consoles work and what better way than the basics. They will be ready for the newest and bestest next year.
We had Chinese food and watched "Finding Dory".  It really was a cute movie and I still enjoyed it even with the littles telling all the spoilers.  They had seen it at daycare.  I have given up on trying to find something we all haven't seen.
