Christmas came a bit late this year for me. Each year, Jami and Emily alternate spending Christmas day with their families, or spending the day with their husband's families. This was the year apart. So we all got together on the Sunday afternoon after Christmas in Fort Worth at their mom's house. Jami and Kenneth and Sophia, and Emily, Bill, Coleton, and Cade, and Katy and their mom . . .and of course Me. Pam was was out commission for the preparations while having to nurse a broken foot back to health but she was able to enjoy it all and watch and see the joy of the children as they opened their gifts.
Everyone was watching the Dallas Cowboys suffer the worst defeat of the year in their last game. And I arrive late after having to stop at JC Penney's and get some new jeans after having spilled coffee on mine during the drive down from Tulsa.
After the game we shared a happy time of gift giving and receiving and laughing and watching the kids glow with delight as they opened each new present. At 19 months this was the first Christmas we all got to watch Sophie actually enjoy the time of tearing paper off.
