That big pile of gifts got unwrapped pretty quickly. I hit it big with the littlest girl. I even got her things she wanted but she hadn't told anyone...like orange converse shoes. They all got new coats, shoes, blankets, clothes and a few toys. When the unwrapping was done it didn't look so overboard as it did when it was a nice pile around the tree. Every one seemed pleased.
Cassie made prime rib for dinner. We gave her helpful advice on how to cook that.
The littlest man and I went out to see how cold it was. Only 16 degrees. We didn't stay out too long, but we did get out.
It really was a nice day. Totally nontraditional for us, but good anyway. We knew this year would be different than all those that came before. And that is why we traveled to be with the littles for the holiday. It is one thing we have learned this year. You can't let fear stand in the way of love because tomorrow is NOT promised. We only have today.
