The Brown Eyed Girl and Darling Daughter smooching on their baby brudder...
In years past, we've spent a lot of money on Christmas. More money than average folks, it seems. But this year, practically nothing. Not that we had much, but we found a bit to spend on our kids.
We went to my sister-in-law's house yesterday and had the whooooole family together for the first time in somewhere around a decade. The first-gen grandkids are all adults now. **sniff** The second-gen are barely school age and younger. And there's a single great grand running around. It was relaxing and fun to see everyone and to visit and catch up and not spend hours watching each other unwrap presents that mean less than the company we were keeping.
On Christmas eve and Christmas morning, I'll have all my kids home, and I really couldn't ask for anything more...
