The kids

The kids are starting to get wound up with all the Christmas festivities going on.  School lets out early on Friday and the kids are excited about no homework for two weeks, Trinity most of all.  Church has a children's party on Wed. night, a Christmas program Sunday night and then Christmas Eve at church will be special.  It will be a busy week.

Traded tea in for eggnog and just a tad of spiced rum.  Yummm.  Then I turned my back for one minute to check Trinity's homework and when I looked back Jack was slurping it up and enjoying it.    Silly Dog.  The rum didn't seem to faze him though.

Maria and I spent a few hours today wrapping presents..  She worked on it a lot longer than I did, the back just doesn't like leaning over the table like it use to. I still have a bit to do, Maria finished wrapping hers.  She is a whiz at wrapping gifts. 

I pray you all have a wonderful rest of the week, stay warm and dry..
