Another wonderful Christmas at Urbana. Mom was here, which of course is critical to a successful Christmas. Many nice gifts, but more importantly, time to visit and enjoy. Mom took us out for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at Peking Garden with the Eastin's. From there we traveled to Wesley Church for evening services and then home to a fire on the hearth, and the traditional Sesame Street Christmas and Peter, Paul and Mary PBS Christmas specials. Colin was off to the Freeman household in Tulsa Saturday morning ,arriving late Saturday. Joel hasn't returned my Christmas phone call so he is on double secret probation. Bethany brought her friend Liz here so we could see Liz's beautiful little baby Belle; she is so small I can hold her in my hand. She is very cute!! Bethany is out and around visiting her many friends in Urbana; Abby is busy texting her new crush on her cell phone ( she will deny this accusation, and, to be fair, she is very involved in our family activities; eg, movies, cooking and baking,reading, and generally enjoying each other). Barb is being a good mom, as usual.
Well, another holiday with all my children, so, I have no complaints, only gratitude for the moment.
