Monday - December 23

Very cold today, but sun was shining brightly.   Took the boys to our Monday morning breakfast outing.    I called Marty to get the latest.....he's doing ok, just lying low for awhile and anxious to hear what his heart doctor says - possibly a triple bypass?

 

Connor had received a $25 gift card at the family Christmas drawing Saturday night, so after breakfast we went to Barnes and Noble and he was very nice to share with Liam and each of the boys picked out some books, activities, etc.  

 

 

Searching for just the right book

 

Home for lunch and then I ran "one" more errand and got a manicure.    Played card games with the boys in the afternoon.   I got the last of the Christmas decorations, clothing, sox, jewelry, etc., put away and now ready to bring on the shorts, t-shirts and flip flops!!!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad today....he would've been 96.   Thinking back to 1 year ago today when ALL my family were together at Bob and Linda's.

We had dinner with Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor at Firestone Pizza - very good and our last time to all be together until they come to Florida for spring break the end of March - yeah!

Mark will be winterizing the house tomorrow and I will spend some time with Liam and Connor at their house till Patrick takes us to the airport for 5:15 flight - Florida, here we come!

Sooo looking forward to spending Luke's 1st Christmas with him - and his Mommy and Daddy, Uncle Ryan and Mark's sister Theresa and Mike.

Wishing you all a very

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
