Chris let them buy his next coat. Don't let it ruin your Christmas. You are super grandparents. They are lucky to have you.
Tired tonight.

I started the day with 20 mins in recumbent and an upper body workout. Then ended it with another 20 on the recumbent.
We had our family Christmas dinner yesterday so everyone can stay home with kids and grandkids on Christmas Day. Time to start new traditions and personally I miss mom so much and just want a quiet Christmas Day.
It was fun and my niece had many Tik Toc games for the kids and kept it lively. We had chili with all the different toppings as well as corn bread, crackers and Fritos. My sister set up a Sundae bar for the kiddies and the kids at heart. Awesome cookies as well.
A good time was had by all. I’m cooking on Christmas Day for about 6 of us. Then spending the evening watching Christmas movies. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.

Shelley, I did exactly that last night...three jackets!! Two he can wear now and one for 5-6 months from now when he's a little bigger. DON'T MESS WITH GRANDMA! DON'T MAKE ME GET MY WAND!
Kathy, good job on your bike! I walked w/Collin for 1.71 miles in 48 mins and that is all! Spent a lot of time on Amazon...wonder if that can be considered finger exercises...hmmmm
Waiting for Raley's to fill our salad order for tomorrow's gathering. We'll put everything together tomorrow morning. It'll be fun.

We need to chop up all the stuff for the salad and get ready to leave for the kids. We will celebrate their 10th Anniversary and Christmas this evening.
My happy start for today was my sweet husband letting me know, with a rather nasty tone, that he was not happy that I had to make another Raley's order...we are out of soup...and then, to make my mood a bit more cheery, I went outside and picked up cat poop out of the lava rock...UGH!!! KEEP YOUR DARN CATS IN YOUR OWN YARD!!!! Ya gotta laugh at that!
I'm okay. I'll get in the shower in a bit and wash it all away.
This is a happy, happy day...I will smile and laugh with everyone and tell them I LOVE THEM TO THE MOON AND BACK! Hug the ones love. Keep them close.
I love you guys! Have a great Christmas Eve!

Kathy, I love that you can add celebrations on alternative days to make it possible to have multiple gatherings. Love the idea of making our own traditions.
Shelley, Best wishes to Rocky to break into onederland. In your pics, he already looks pretty healthy. But if he's like me, every additional healthier step is just very satisfying.
Chris, hope your family gives you lots of love.
Wishing you all a wonderful beginning to a new year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, love reading what you're all doing.
Kathy hugs to you.
Chris have loads of fun on Amazon
Paula keep your cats away from Chris. Muahaha
I bought a necklace for a friend at our local jewelers. I fell in love with a piece I knew she would also love. I read the price and thought that isn't bad. Then I was shocked to learn they priced the chain separately! Oops

Merry Christmas Gals!
I haven't been feeling too well the last few weeks....got a cold that took me out and then threw my back out which is finally better!
I've had some time off this week which has been nice. We are having family over today for Christmas dinner.....my siblings and their kids ...13 of us.
Back to exercising tomorrow now that I am feeling better.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!

Karen, so sorry you were sick and then hurt you back. Bummer! Glad you are better.
Shelley, I did have a blast on Amazon...our credit card is my proof! Good thing I'm in charge. 
Sooo, did you get the necklace? And did you keep it? Did you gift it to your friend? What's the story here? Picture, please. Oh, and the end of my SIL trying to donate Collin's STAR jacket...turns out IT ISN'T TOO SMALL! SIL said he was confused and it was a pair of pants with stars on it that was too small. Yeah, I understand how a jacket and pair of pants can confuse you. Egads, man!
Paula, boy, howdy did we get love last night! It was a blast! Dinner, dessert and presents!
I put my shoes on this morning and walked to the Ruins. 5.29 miles in 101 mins. Really nice morning, a few walkers out, not much traffic. I plan on going out tomorrow, too.
Later, my friends.

Karen I am so happy to hear you are feeling better. Those colds can really pack a punch! Start back to exercising slowly. Don't want to over do it.
Chris you know pants and coats look alike. Both have 2 arms/legs. A zipper and pockets. See they look alike.
I did gift the necklace. I will try to get a photo of it later. Way to busy tonight at the Christmas party. When she wears it I will. She thought the wrapped box was an ornament.
She is really cute. I even got a hug when we convinced her there was something inside of it. Their families live in Cuba or Florida. We kind of adopted them. And they miss them dearly.
I am so happy everyone had a good Christmas. Kathy I hope you were able to reflect on past Christmas celebrations fondly.
Good night

Morning. Happy everyone enjoyed the holiday. I spent it with my oldest sister and two of her daughters. It was nice and quiet and we talked about mom and past Christmases a lot. Holidays were always at my parents house so we have many fond memories. Ate way too much. Getting ready to workout.
I have to have my car towed to have it serviced. My engine light came on and it was making a funny noise. Wish me luck.
Oh. Ron gave me an Apple Watch for Christmas. So happy I’ve been wanting one. Now I have to figure how do set it up.🤣
He also gave me another gift which is a Christmas gift for me and a retirement gift for him. We’re going on a cruise on Virgin Voyages on February 23 for 5 days. His first my first on this cruise line. It’s an all adult cruise line. His last day is tomorrow. So happy for him.
Great day ladies.

Chris, Your SIL has really got me pondering. Here's a little meme for him.

Paula, I ponder at everything he says then I shake my head and walk away. I love my daughter to the moon and back, so I put up with is constant BS about everything he knows nothing about.
Kathy, sounds like you had a nice Christmas with your sister and her daughters. And what a great Christmas gift for you and Ron! And your new Apple watch. Please let us know how you like it. So sorry about your car. I don't do car stuff. I tell Pat about the blinking lights and he takes care of them. He tries to explain thing to me and you know how that goes...
Shelley, that's exactly what came to mind when I was told about the mix up...I should have asked if the star-pants were still in Ronan's dresser drawer.
Your friend is cute. I hope she doesn't hang the necklace on her tree...
I am glad everyone is doing good. Let's see what the New Year brings and takes...like my extra pounds, please.
Have a great day, ladies.
