Thanksgiving is over and with Steve's parents here it was cozy and fun. They've left us this morning and now Christmas is upon us. I've spent hours trying different backgrounds for the blog and coming up with something I was happy with (a very OCD/ADD morning!). I felt accomplished and then remembered I'd forgotten to post anything new! What a day.
The Christmas decorations are up and it's beginning to feel festive. I had an emotional time with the decorating. I looked over old ornaments I've been given from my Mother and little things the kids have made us over the years. I started feeling very blue and missed my family so much my throat ached. I guess it's a good thing we have so many good memories of Christmas past but it's hard not getting to see those we love so dearly and miss so much.
I appreciate SO much reading all your posts; it helps chase the blues away. So let's keep it up and keep Christmas red and green, not blue! Steve's in the kitchen making peanut butter cookies so I think my blues will alleviate when that dough is ready for quality inspection!
Love you all!
p.s. you'll all be relieved to know the cookie dough has passed inspection

Grandma Helen, I posted a comment to you in the wrong place, please refer to Happy Anniversary Steven. Sorry. Love, Brent's MIL
Gena, No Blue Christmases allowed but a little emotion can be a good thing (clears out the sinuses), it's wonderful to have all those happy memories and there will be many more to follow...just wait 'til you get all those grandchildren. Your tree looks beautiful and the peanut butter cookies sound perfect for a red and green night! I wish you a happy holiday season.
I love your new background and pictures and holiday decorating looks great. I'm sorry that you were a bit blue today I'm sure you will feel happier when Grandma gets back home. Thank you for sharing her with us. We've sure enjoyed getting to spend time with her we just wish that we could have all the rest of you here with us also.
Please take care and know I love you!

I love the background and the new photos of everyone! What handsome men those two little guys have turned into! Lovely Emmy and Alli as always...and I am loving seeing you with long hair again after what...about 15 years?! Tell Steve to send me some dough!
No blues allowed in my house either! We are eager for Sarah to arrive in 8 days!!!!
I love your background very festive. Boy those boys and girls of yours are growing up fast, love your tree, I have been trying to find time to get our christmas decortations up, I just might find that time this weekend if the weather holds up and nothing comes up unexpectedly.
Love you miss you

Being the chairman of the Poison Control Committee always lifts my spirits--especially when homemade cookie dough is involved! Hope you're feeling better.
