Happy in the snow

Nana facetiming Rehvyn on his Birthday.  He was just the cutest and love his new Off Road vehicle.  He scared himself when he honked the horn and wouldn’t honk it again.  Then he did it one more time.  

Beautiful Christmas card Sister C gave to us today.  It lights up when you open it.  I loved it and had to call her and tell her so.  She was so happy I loved it as she picked it out special and said it was like sending a hug to me.  It sure was!

Bill and I eating at the table for dinner enjoying his spaghetti.  So yummy!

Peyton relaxing in her rom with all of her Squishmallows and Lauren Daigle Blanket.

Kenzie FaceTimed me.  I was so happy to see Rehvyn and said you’ll be 2 pretty soon. Hold up two fingers.  Then Kenzie said today is his birthday.  I hadn’t looked at the date so didn’t realize it was the 11th.  I had so much fun talking to him and watching him in his 4 wheeler.  He sure loved it and wanted to sit in it all the time.  I can’t wait to celebrate with him on Saturday.  He’s such a loving little boy. 

Bill had to take his sister Carol to her doctor appt.  He left at around 8:30.  I got ready and did my leg lifts.  They are the hardest for me to do, but I’m getting better at it.  I ate breakfast, then got my lists of Christmas presents organized.  I watered my plants, and made my side of the bed.  I have to move the sheets and blankets back when I do exercises.  I could do more little things with just walking a little ways away from my walker.  

I called Bill to see if he would pick me up a shake on his way home.  He got me a yummy peppermint shake from Chic-fil-A.  Yum!  He also brought home donuts from our favorite bakery in Bridgeport.  Double Yum!  He gave me the card from Carol to open.  Such a blessing!  We decided to go to Kohls and walk around and shop and use our Kohl’s Cash.  We covered the whole store.  I did pretty good with my walker until I waited 25 minutes for Bill to check out.  I was getting a little sore and tired by the time he was done.  It felt good to get in the car and sit.  When we got home, I relaxed for a while.  So did he.  We read our Bibles.  He asked me if I wanted him to fix me a plate of spaghetti.  I told him yes, but asked if we could walk up the stairs and down first.   I used the rail and he walked next to me.  Going up was pretty easy.  Coming down was a little harder, but not bad.  I went one step at a time.  I was so happy to be able to do it.  I want to practice everything I can because they called and my therapy doesn’t start until 12/30 because they are booked until then.  

We ate at the table for the second time.  Nice to be able to do that comfortably too.   

I talked to Kimmy and ordered my gift for Jared after she sent me an idea.  I think he will really like it.  I also got Peyton’s list, so ordered her stuff.  I talked to Melissa and she thought I walked all over Kohls without my walker.  We both got a really good laugh out of that.  She thought Bill was just walking next to me to catch me if I fell.  It was hard enough walking through the whole store with a walker.  She also told me she has a surprise for me and decided to tell me.  She has been practicing two Christmas songs on the Piano from the Salty Play that she knew really well when she was taking lessons.  She started off slow, and they came right back to her.  I can’ t wait to hear her play them.  What a great Christmas gift!  I told her she didn’t waste our piano lesson money and she laughed because she had thought the same thing.  

I talked to Vikki today too.  I can’t wait til the girls come over tomorrow.  Always fun Fridays!    I talked to Sue and to Marie today.  Both are doing pretty good now.
