I had scrapbooking “work” to do today before I could start on my daily page for December. It was a pj day until just before Mark came home at noon from work. We took Nellie’s Christmas gift to her and went to Southern Lunch in Lexington to grab a bite to eat, but they were closed. So we stopped at Arby’s on the way back home. We didn’t want to eat heavily because Elisabeth had invited us to supper for lasagna. We left the house after we fed Asher at 3:30 to go to their house. Liz put the lasagna in the oven about the time we got there. We played Rummikub until time to eat. After supper we opened Christmas gifts. Hannah, the now 21 year old, said to me, “since we are older now, we get practical gifts, but I’m not complaining!” And there is also a noticeable difference in the lack of chaos in the gift opening! The baby/kid days are long gone! It was a great evening shared with my daughter and her family. 12/24/25
