Christmas morning

It's finally Christmas day! Everyone had sugar plums dancing in their heads last night. We heard reports of people who were too excited to sleep (haha).


For breakfast, Sarah made German pancakes and Aaron made hot chocolate. I love having grown up kids who want to cook:




I made lots of fleece blankets this year and my family seemed to like them (thank goodness):












Aaron wanted a Kindle. He can load thousands of books and periodicals onto it. He won't have to worry about carrying or moving books from one apartment to another:





Sarah gets to pick out a Cockatielle (bird) this week. The cage is huge and quite pretty:





I got my wish too! This is the first bike of my own since I was a teenager! It's a pink and white ladies Schwinn. I think it's called a LuLu. It has 7 speeds and is very retro.
I also have a raspberry-pink and black helmet. I must say it's bad for the hair:







Joe got clothes and a Jack La Lane Power Juicer. We also now have a 'soda stream' to make our own soft drinks and a very nice Cuisinart. It's a kitchen aid brand, so over the years attachments can be added if we want.

The best thing is that my daughter and her family will be coming to visit us very soon!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! It may not be about the gifts, but it sure is fun.
