Merry Christmas

It was the best Christmas ever!! I don't worry about being political correct cause I know the reason we celebrate Christmas so I don't care if anyones offended....
I've had a great few days..You know me with birthdays I don't just celebrate one day so why should Christmas be any different. On Tues morning our daughter arrived in town and we got to spend the day together. Danny was due in at 10:30 so we just visited till it was time to go get him. About 4pm we got a call from Danny that his flight out of Nashville was delayed and then we worried for the next 5 hrs that he'd might miss his connecting flight out of Houston and he made it by just minutes. He was only about 35 minutes late getting here and we were waiting at the airport for him to arrive. So now my Christmas fun has begun. Christmas Eve I cooked most of the day while Reid and Danny golfed..(what's up with that) anyway I'd decided I was fixing a Christmas dinner with turkey and all the trimmings and I did. (back to that in a minute). Wed night we had a dinner invite with some friends of ours and we had a wonderful meal of mexican dishes..The best mexican food I've had in South Texas. On Christmas day the weather was in the 70's and partly sunny it was just beautiful. As I'm sitting around with my kids having the best Christmas ever....and I finally realized having them here for Christmas wasn't our gift to them, having them fly in for 3 days was Reid's gift to me. I just couldn't be happier. Today was busy, I now know I can fit a 13 lb turkey in my rv oven (the down side is Reid also knows this so there will probally be more turkey meals in our future) I hadn't fixed a holiday meal in about 5 yrs so I was hoping it would all turn out and it did, the turkey was beautifully brown and tasty. We also had Bob and Nancy over, They are leaving on Monday so we got in one more meal together. Tomorrow is another golf day for the guys and Stephanie and I are going to try braving shopping. We'll see how that goes. The kids will fly out on Sat morning so that will be sad but we'll see then again in the spring.
We know that Jim and Linda are heading down soon and so are Larry and Phyllis, take it easy getting here and we can't wait to see you guys.
Hope everyones Christmas was the best ever love you guys.
