Had a few minutes before I clean the bathrooms, so while I'm listening to classical Christmas tunes, thought I'd let you know what Christmas eve was like here. Jake and Martyna took Gabe and Luke out to Seven Lakes State Park to romp around in the snow and maybe slide down a hill or two. Emma is finishing up some cookies that Brooke had started earlier. Suhitha spent the night in Windsor partying with a friend.
The morning was spent playing with Omar and Gabe. Brooke comes up with the most fun games that boys enjoy. Brings back memories. Toy cars were going over "Monkey-butt Hill" this morning.
Omar has a fever and I'm coming down with a little something. My right ear is blocked and it makes sounds very different than normal.
Our nephew Ben was over last night and he had suggested jokingly that we could have the TV set to play a fireplace on Christmas. I found a couple of them on Netflix and tried one out. It was nice with christmas songs playing along. Omar, being slowed down by his cold, enjoyed sitting on my lap and watching the fire.
The tree is nice. Jake, Martyna and I bought it at a farm and Jake cut it down with a saw. We all trimmed it that night and it's so fresh and even. It looks great with all the gifts underneath. Gabe's big gift is a two-seater Jeep. It is so big it is in the camper-van. It is a beautiful blue with "chrome" accessories. Lots of decals make it very appealing to the very young group. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Gabe buys a real Jeep one day.
I gotta go. We have a new toilet seat in the upstairs bath. The old one broke and I replaced it with a "no-slam" seat. The occupants of the adjacent bedroom won't be awakened by the slam anymore.
Hope you are as blessed as we are this Christmas.
