Sunday, Dec 27, 2009: Christmas at TheHowserHouse

Christmas morning.....at least for our family....was this morning. THANK goodness...no one was up at the crack of dawn!!!! Since Santa Claus does not visit TheHowserHouse, the excitement with the grandkids was not as intense as their Christmas morning at their own homes on the 25th. However....they WERE anxious to get to the business of finding their gifts and seeing what the family members were giving them......!!

And......it didn't take long before the living room was totally trashed....with ripped wrapping paper, bows, bits and pieces of paper, torn cardboard from getting to their toys, etc ., etc. And, all of this is an annual event at our home when there are children here for Christmas......as I am certain it is in every one else's home.

Breakfast, or, perhaps brunch was about mid-morning for the eleven of us......and then the kids were trying out their new gifts.....enjoying them all!! Soon, the kitchen was busy with the preparation of Christmas Dinner.....which was finally enjoyed about 3pm. And then....somehow, the rest of the very blustery and very cold day slipped away from everyone here.

And.....now, it is time for these young ones to get to bed......will there be quiet here before long???? HAHA......I doubt it!!! It will be time for the annual board and card games in TheHowserHouse..........GREAT!!!

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