Christmas celebration

With us leaving for Costa Rica on Jan. 2, and Charity being "on reserve status" as a new flight attendant, we planned to celebrate Christmas early with hte kids. So Charity and Jeremy both arrived here in Katy this week, and we had a few fun filled days along with having Christmas! We did a little shopping, baked sweets and then on Thursday, Dec. 21, had a wonderful ham and fixings...opened up gifts and Jeremy read the Christmas story to us all.
I hadn't wanted to put away tons of decorations this year, so I decorated the tree with the Christmas cards that we received from family and friends, so if you sent one, you were a part of our tree, and thank you, it was beautiful!
Of course, you can't have Charity here without having some kind of drama, and yes, we did...with her trip home to Salt Lake City..but it all ended up ok! We took her to the Houston airport at 3am today, and then Roger headed out with Jeremy to pick up his car 4 hours south of here, then he's heading on back to McAllen.
I on the other hand, am having a garage sale (yes the weekend before Christmas, can you imagine that?!?)...and selling tons of stuff! If I can sell it, its less to pack!
