Gayle, I would hate to have to go through everything before I moved!! The last place we lived at for almost 20 years and we had a LOT of stuff!!! Yuck!!! Wish that I was close by and had the time to help you!! You're a hard worker and I know that you'll have everything ship-shape in no time!!!
Betsi, I'm so sorry that the holidays are being so hard on you. We're having our Christmas on Christmas Eve with the kids. Besides not having anyone here on Christmas, this will be our first year without anyone to bring their stockings in on our bed to open them up. I know that it's not as bad as having them across the country and ocean from me but still, I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it. You'll just have to plan on watching the kids open their presents while on your Skype!!! Then you'll feel like a part of things!!
Lindsey, that was one HUGE party!!!! I can't imagine!!!! I bet you were beautiful in your new dress and we're all a little upset that Scott didn't get a picture of you!! LOL I 'm glad to hear that you're putting that big house to good use!! I'm sure that you had lots of room for everyone!!
Judy, I think that a lot of people are cutting back this year. We usually have the kids exchange presents at Glen's family's Christmas together......but this year it just seems out of place to be buying presents for your cousin's kids so since it will be at my house this year we're not going to do it. I'm sure that I'll have some people upset with me but that's alright. I think that we can just enjoy getting together without gifts.
We had such a good time last night......I had all of the grandkids, Amy, Dae Lynn, and Jaci....plus Glen and myself. I was disappointed that the others weren't here.....but that's alright. Tammy spent her time wrapping gifts so I can understand why she'wasn't here.
I really enjoy the noise of having everyone here and while we ate it was so loud......the kids talking loudly at the bar......and the adults talking loudly at the dining room table...........and right in the midst of all this noise was Little Karlie singing "Silent Night" at the top of her voice.........Gotta' love her!!!!!
