Merry Christmas!

Had a fantastic morning with Trenton and Gabi. I made sausage egg and cheese casserole, cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast and opened all our gifts. Made the boys cool tables with ND bottle caps for their specially made items from mom, made Gabi some bookmarks with pressed flowers from special places for her specially made item from mom and got Ben a beautiful sign that had I.O.P.Y. on it with his dads handwriting. This was a special saying his dad would write on all his cards that stands for “I’m proud of you.”  Hoping Ben puts that somewhere he can see it every day. Also got him a keychain with the same saying and on the other his mom’s handwriting on it. Just love giving everyone meaningful gifts. Ben took care of me too (as always) and Gabi did a great job gift giving. She is really like me in that sense.  Met my parents and grandma at Chads for lunch and had our gift exchange with some yummy food. I made potatoes and brought chocolate peppermint cake and cheesecake slices for dessert. Such a good time visiting with them. And last stop was at Tyler’s to give them all their gifts. A very special day. Weather was calling for warm temps in the upper 50s and rainy but the rain held off and the sun even shown itself for a bit. Very blessed indeed.  Lenny visited the Christmas shop at school and got us some cute gifts also. So very special.
