A Christmas Eve

We have Dad and Mom Stafford, here for Christmas. They arrived yesterday evening. I feel so bad for Mom, because she is so sick...cough, fever, chills, so not good. She arrived getting sick and she's been in bed ever since. It's just not fun being sick, especially at Christmas time, and when you're not in your own home. I get it. So this means...I'm praying we don't get this bug, and that Mom gets well soon. Now today, the boys had their Christmas Eve steam up day, and it was just beautiful out there! A great day for a ride. Come dinner time, Dad took Jeff, the kids and I out to dinner, so Mom could continue to sleep. We ate at Chili's and it hit the spot! Afterwards, a stop at Starbucks, for some eggnog lattes. It's now just after 8:00, and we placed the cookies and milk out for Santa, and the kids WANTED to get to bed! Gee, I wonder why? To be a kid on Christmas Eve. Wonderful! I think it's now a good time, to watch "A Christmas Story," our Christmas Eve tradition...so until Christmas...have a pleasant Christmas Eve night!
