Christmas Day

I can say without reservation that today was the nicest Christmas Day I have ever had as an adult.

Typically my Christmas Day would revolve around visiting various family and friends (all lovely and a wonderful time) but never really staying put in one place for any length of time. Since yesterday (C.E.) around 4 o'clock, I've been in Indy (Carmel, specifically) hanging out at Sister and Boy Wonder's house.

Some highlights from today:

Sister got Boy Wonder an ESPN Sports Center ornament that he absolutely loves. It plays the theme music and she didn't know it played music at all. This was played over and over as we opened gifts and became a source of great amusement.

Boy Wonder's Brother opened a gift today with the announcement: "I love it, what is it?" We have laughed over this repeatedly all day.

Sister received beautiful jewelry from Boy Wonder for Christmas.

Boy Wonder received Superman PJs which were promptly modeled for all.

Mom loved her computer. She hugged it about ten times at least.

I received a gift that is priceless beyond measure. Mom passed along to me her mom's cookbook, filled with her notes on various receipes and whatnot. I cried as I opened it, as the gift was marked from "Grandma Lemons" which has been 18 years since I received a gift from her (She passed 17 years ago, October). I still tear up thinking of it.

It was a wonderful day.

Tomorrow is more family and a trip to Target with CCM. Cannot wait to see her!
