Christmas Day

Woke up really feeling bad with this head cold, looked out the window to see 6 inches of fresh snow on the driveway, cars and trees. It was just beautiful but there was company coming and the driveway had to be shoveled before they started to arrive. Mark went to church while the sick one stayed home to shovel. Rick Sills was driving by with his snow plow truck, saw me working and helped out big time by plowing the drive and some of the parking area. That left me less than a hour of outside work. I don't want to brag or anything but our Christmas dinner was delicious. Black Angus prime rib, fresh green beans cooked in chicken broth, a huge salad with bacon bits, tomatoes and acacodos, baked potatoes with sour cream and butter, Karin's special spinach dip, hot baked crescent rolls, 5 layer jello and for dessert coffee and chocolate cream pie. No pictures, didn't want anyone drooling on their keyboards.
After dinner Sarah had the fit game on. Nancy had a good time playing.
Mom decided she wanted to play bowling. Her very first throw was a strike!

Addyson had a good time playing with her dolly. She found 2 other dolls and was lining them up in a row. Karin fell asleep on the living room floor. Addyson found the windex Mark keeps handy to clean the wood burner window and put it in the crook of Karin's arm. Karin woke up wondering why she had the windex. Then she moved to a chair, fell asleep, Addyson moved the windex from the floor again up by Karin's hand. The second time Karin woke up it was "what in the world, the windex is following me around!"
Soon all of us crashed where ever and slept. The kids woke up before us old folks and started playing games in the playroom. Karin told me that she, Mike and the Davidovics girls rode yesterday, Karin rode Wynne and reported that Wynne didn't put a foot wrong. So nice to hear, although Karin did say Wynne only has ONE speed in the canter, slow. The others decided to race and took off at a gallop, Wynne & Karin came in DEAD LAST. Mom, Karin and Nancy left for Dan's house. We are dragging this evening, too many Christmas dinners.
