Merry Christmas

I didn't get to see my kids open any of the gifts I got them on Christmas morning but I could hear them from upstairs. Boo for being sick on Christmas but at least the kids were ok and my not being there didn't seem to dampen their spirits. Having my mom and dad there was a big help I think because they had a nice audience watching them.

Reed's favorite things were anything to do with tractors and he really liked the flashlight that Millie got him from her school Holiday Shop.

Millie got a lot of books to add to her home library.

My dad really liked the old metal Ford signs that I got Reed for his bedroom. I kept hearing Dad ask Reed if he could have them but Reed stood firm and told him no.

Millie's favorite thing (from us) may have been the tennis trainer but since there was snow on the ground, she has not had a chance to try it out yet. I hope it works the way it is supposed to because that will sure keep us from having to chase so many tennis balls down the street from now on.

I was very happy that Rick thought to take pictures for me. I heard him say one time "Let me take your picture, you know how your mom is."
