Well it’s over, it’s done, we’re resting. The Christmas holiday was fun and exciting. Beth went home to San Antonio to be with her family. Justin and Stephanie arrived on Saturday from San Francisco. Then it was go, go, go. Cookies to decorate. Lots of presents around the tree. Hours of opening. IMHO the hit present was a DDR pad and CD for Stephanie, who is the coordinated one of our small group. Bottom line, we talked and laughed and cooked and baked and ate and danced and slept. Yesterday Beth arrived back. Then dinner out for all of us was dressy and yet casual at our local Cool River restaurant. Early today Justin and Stephanie left. We’re sad they are gone. Now we’re on the other side. On the recuperative side. On the lazy relaxing side. Beth went to work. I’ve been watching DVDs. The rest of the family has been watching TV. I hope a good time was had by all, or at least from my prespective I think we did.
