| Isaac, Peyton and Regen relaxing after decorating all those cookies! I got up early and got ready. I kept checking for school closings because it had rained, then the temperature dropped and it got super windy. I didn’t want the girls coming on icy roads. No closings! Vikki got here and said the roads were good. Kimmy was waiting a while to find out. Jared took Eli to school for her and said the roads were good. He always says the roads are good though lol. Kimmy and Jacob headed out, but had to make some stops on the way here. Vikki and I had oatmeal and our coffee. Kimmy and Jacob got here. They brought Eli’s birthday present they had picked up and are keeping it here until his birthday. We had Jacob open his Prayer Month gift. He really liked them and was so sweet. He put the sweatshirt on and wore it the rest of the day. We sure are thankful for all of these grandkids we get to pray for. I went upstairs and labeled boxes with names of who they go to and put them in the hallway. Kimmy, Vikki and Jacob brought them down. They brought the wrapping paper down too. Jacob set up a card table in the living room and Kimmy and Vikki started wrapping. They loved my old wrapping paper collection, especially my goose wrapping paper that had been my mom’s. They were so cute wrapping gifts and working together and also having fun. Melissa told me that she wanted to help wrap, but they got right at it and got it done. I marked names and what was wrapped off my lists as they did them. I sure get tired out fast these days. I put my feet up when I was doing my part. They finished and the presents look so nice under the tree. What a big job done! Thank you girls! Thanks too Melissa! I know you joyfully volunteered to help with this big job too. We ate pizza for lunch. Bill went to Pat’s to help raise money for Toys for Tots for the Marine Corp League from 3-5. The girls and I made the cookies. I had to take a break at the end of the third batch. I sure don’t like getting tired so fast. The girls finished for me and cleaned up the kitchen. Melissa brought Jack over to help decorated. I was so happy he wanted to help and she made the trip over. We needed all the help we could get for all those cookies. Regen’s mom dropped her off to help too. So thankful for her help too. I made a double batch of frosting, and the dream team of decorators started working on decorating. I rested more and papa and I tried a cookie. Yum! I did go out and offer to help decorate, but got sent back in to relax. The cookies looked great after they were decorated. Thanks again everyone. Jacob said he wanted to go home and make chocolate chip cookies. He must be excited to try his new mixer. Don’t know if Kimmy will have time for that plus all she has to do yet, but it’s cute that he wants to. After everyone left, I fried up the potatoes from when we had our sirloin burgers and then mixed scrambled eggs in with them. Made us toast and that was what we had for dinner. I went in to close the shades in the family room because it was so cold and windy, and noticed Bill put swivels on our two Lazyboy chairs in there, I was so happy and surprised. I went and told him thank you with a big smile and gave him a big kiss. They are so nice! I can’t believe he put them on by himself. Vikki said he would have to have help. He is pretty talented. Congratulations to our Adam for finishing high school. He had lots of set backs with his bad concussion, but he didn’t give up and worked hard to finish. Adam, we are so thankful for you. We pray God’s best for you always! I packed up all of the cookies and got three large sized storage containers full of cookies. I tried to take the girls into taking more home with them, but they didn’t. I had Bill put two containers in the freezer, so they and the kids will have cookies whenever they come here. I sat in my chair and got on the computer to do my blog and fell sound asleep until Bill woke me up to give me a goodnight kiss because he was going to bed. I still had the computer in my lap and was sitting in the recliner. I guess I’m not tired anymore lol. I can’t believe I do that since my surgery. I can be knitting and fall right asleep. I don’t sleep much at night in the recliner...just off and on, so I’m thinking that is why I’m doing it. |
