Saturday: Two days of family, scattered toys, and too much food!

I'm sure that our family Christmas is no different than others, so I will not go into any details with this post, other to let you know that the celebrations of the holiday continue in TheHowserHouse. Absolutely no one can get through the stick and brick without stepping ON, or stepping OVER, tons of toys which lay scattered all across the floor and through the various rooms. We still have 10 family members here in the stick and brick, but tomorrow will be the day of departure for everyone except the 1st Lady and myself.

Today....70 degrees with strong winds and even stronger gusts!!! We are under a tornado watch and the line of severe storms is quickly approaching our area, so I thought I would write this before the possibility of losing our electricity becomes stronger.

The 1st Lady and I are "child sitting" for this morning as the others are out and about including a visit to see Mike for a few hours. The 1st Lady is also in the process of TRYING to get some of the decorations put away.....as our time here in the stick/brick is getting shorter, with the planned departure to be on Tuesday morning. Much, much to do to get things loaded and the house put in order for it's winter hibernation, mail to be forwarded, ALARMS TURNED ON, etc., etc., etc.

I will post more later today, including a few pictures of the chaotic gift unwrapping yesterday morning.......how could it be anything BUT chaotic with the joys and suprises of three grandchildren and one four month old grandson tearing into the gifts???

LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
