Midway Between Christmas & New Years

Again I have really lost almost a month& don't know where & it can't be retrieved,so I go on from here. Hope Christmas was a good time for everyone. Ours was very different,but all the girls and families were home & that is what counts! We celebrated twice-the 23rd we went for a very good meal at Dad & Doris' then had opening of gifts. They were surprized with a bowling game which was assembled with group effort then the fun began. I even took a few turns but ended up throwing left handed & it worked quite well. Christmas Eve was a busy day as Steff & Rob had a quick run to W. Va,but made it back home in time,plus everyone else was scrambling to other familie events. Then we gathered at Keith,Lisa & Jessica's home for a really delicious & filling ham dinner. Later we had too many choices of desserts,one being a Dairy Queen cake to celebrate Amy's birthday which is on Christmas Day. The fun part was opening gifts,especially Jessica. Since she seems to have a natural talent for music,she was given a keyboard & drumset(to Keith's dismay) & you should have heard her,she has the motions & expressions down right to the "Thank You,Thank You" at the end. Need I say there were quite a few tired people on Christmas but for once,Mel & I got to stay home & be lazy & enjoy the quiet. Now we are trying to catch up on somethings before he returns to work the 2nd of January after 11 days off,and prepare to cheer out 2007 & welcome 2008 right here at home where it is quiet & safe. May all of you have a very good New Year. I will try to post some pix of some of the good times.
