monday

Christmas Eve was wonderful.
I had dinner here with my kids and boyfriend.
The table looked beautiful. It's the dining room table from my
childhood home.
But anyway..........the mood was light........everyone seemed happy
and talkative.
I t was my favorite part of Christmas.

Christmas Day was spent opening gifts with my kids and boyfriend.
My boys both told boyfriend they wanted to make this Christmas special for me.
I'm not sure why..........
Middle son gave me a beautiful pearl bracelet, oldest son gave to me perfume, Daisey to be specific.........one of my favorites..............and then daughter, God bless her heart........took about 50 pictures of We-Ping and put them in a photo album for me...............cracked me up........and I loved it.............lov ed it all because it came from them.........
After opening gifts we went to my parents house. All of my sisters and their families were there.................................we opened more gifts, ate, and just hung out together. I was tired and wishing I was  at home on my couch in warm comfy pajamas.
I tried staying in the moment, and it's not that I didn't enjoy myself, but home IS where I wanted to be.
And now it is all over and I am on my couch in new, soft, warm pajamas. And to boot, I have 3 more days of vacation ahead of me. Yay!

Middle son recently took some college assessment proficiency test. He scored in the top 10% in the nation in critical thinking skills and in writing skills.
I'm very pleased.
