About 2 weeks ago, something disastrous happened at our house. It was horrible. The world as we know it was crumbling around me. I had lost all meaning of life. I cried and wept for days on end. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I had lost everything. You see, the worst thing ever had happened. My laptop broke. I know.... horrendous, right?
But by Christmas, all was made right. Oscar had gotten me a "new" laptop for the holiday! So my days are brighter and all is right with the world again. It is "new" because it is actually refurbished by the manufacturer. But, hey, it's new to me. Wow, I am such a princess!
Christmas Eve was spent with Oscar's family. My sister-in-law who lives down the street had us all over for the holiday. We ate a wonderful dinner and then acted out the Nativity. All the kids got involved. Macaroni, since he is 16, didn't want to, so he and the other older cousins were the narrators. It's so cute to see them dressed up. The girls love to be the angels; the boys, the wise guys.
Next was present time. All of the kids got hats and gloves from Grandma and Grandpa (Momma and Papa Bear). Then they had picked names and exchanged gifts with the cousins. The adults do that as well. Oscar got a nice new tie and I received body spray and lotion. It was a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, Papa Bear couldn't be there. He was recently released from the hospital and is recovering from pneumonia. We didn't want a relapse!! We missed him, but want him to be healthy!
I talked with my parents back in Wisconsin using Skype. I tried talking to my sisters as well, but couldn't get a hold of them. The Kiwi Princess was probably at her beach house in New Zealand. Rocky Mountain High I think was snowmobiling. Fun for both of them!! My brothers are all well too. My one brother, Mr. Neat Guy, had some surgery right before the holiday and is recovering nicely. The other 2 spent the day with my parents and their significant others. I miss the family of course, but knowing that they are safe and healthy makes the holiday better.
Heck Yeah! We had a good holiday and are looking forward to a fun and happy new year!
