Since I had a cold on Christmas Day, we couldn't have mom over. If she caught the cold or even ended up with pneumonia, then it would be a game changer for her. So, she went to a dear friends house for Christmas Eve. She didn't want me to know who. I'm just glad she was able to go somewhere. She did say it was the first time she had been alone for Christmas. That was a surprise to me. I was alone about 3 times in my lifetime.
I slept most of the day. Patrick and Katt had been enjoying each other's company since she arrived. I did try and stay up most of the day. We exchanged gifts and then had crab for supper - which neither Patrick nor I ate a lot. I was disappointed because I had been looking forward to the dinner.
The next day I called the nurse to let her know how I was feeling (previous post).
Phil came over on the 27th. We then were able to have a good Christmas together. Exchanging gifts, laughing, and playing games. We played the board/card game that we got when we got back from the cruise last year. Patrick and I kicked the kids butts! Now we are tied as far as each time we have played it with them.
Phil and Katt looked good. It was a thrilled to have them together. I wish at times things were different and we had a whole family together, but that isn't how life can be.
My beautiful family! Patrick, Phil, myself, and Katt. Couldn't be happier!
I have a gift card for beads, so that will keep me Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
