Home from our North Carolina visit we now hurry to prepare for Christmas. This year Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning with Brad, Amy and Angela. Then Christmas Day with Blake, Stacey and Claire.
Christmas Morning
Up early and up to the house to enjoy an early morning Christmas.
Presents under the tree
Debbie and I opening presents
One week went by too quickly but we enjoyed every minute of it.
Debbie consulted on a school project that Emily was working on, a period costume. Emily put together the costume herself.
We were fortunate to be able to attend a singing event that Kayla sang at. She sang alone and with a group with a solo. What a beautiful voice she has. I see American Idol in her future.
We returned from out Thanksgiving in Pismo Beach to our home in Concord. A little rest and then packing up for a plane flight back to Wake Forrest, NC for a visit with our family there; Jim, Lisa, Kayla, and Emily. Jim took the week off to visit with us and we really enjoyed being able to spend so much time with him and the family. Working so much, in the past, we only saw a lot of him coming and going.
Jim’s Christmas lights were quite extensive. He related a small incident occurred while hanging lights in one of the trees. While at the top of the ladder, one of the ladder’s legs sank in a gofer hole and left him precariously hanging onto the tree and ladder. Emily came to the rescue by getting a neighbor to come over the straighten the ladder.
