I was up before Tim, which gave me the quiet time I needed to finish some last minute details on a scrapbooking gift for my Mom. I made coffee and tended to things until he got up. Tim and I had our Christmas together. We were both excited about our gifts to each other. Tim picked out the perfect gifts for me this year. We had such a great morning!
My parents arrived around noon and we began our Christmas holiday with them. I pretty much had everything done before they got here. We had appetizers of BBQ'd smokies, a meat/cheese tray, brownies, homemade Christmas goodies. Mom complimented us on how nice everything was. We always have something to talk about and my parents just adore Tim. We exchanged gifts and my parents are always good to us with their gift. At dinner, we talked, laughed, reminisced, and received words of advice. We sat at the table talking long after dinner and dessert was over, our behinds going numb. Neither of us wanting to make a move to get up. My Dad finally broke that when he had to go to the bathroom LOL
I am so thankful for the time we have with my parents. Each visit, every phone call. I talk to my Mom up to 3 times a day. The older I get, the reality sets in that today could be the last. My Mom always tells people what a good daughter I am. You can't receive a better compliment than that. I am very blessed to have wonderful people in my life...My husband, my parents, my family and the best friends a person could ever hope for.
