Didn't put on the pedometer, or I would have racked up a few.

Saturday morning was dashing to grandparent duty so they could drive to Oswego to have lunch and go to the movie's with my daughter-in-law's family without the youngest and then dashing back so that we could get to my dad's family party.  It's unbelieveable how fast the kids grow.  The littlest at the party was 2 1/2 and kept right up with the three other little girls in 1st, 2nd, 6th grade.  Although Hope informed me that she is now a preteen, not a child.  The boys in 8th and sophomore were polite, and helpful to their moms and way too grown.  Reminded me of my own and how there are two very fortunate girls out there that will marry them some day.

My own two "kids" really made me proud.   My daughter and her husband arriving before my parents and my son calling as the whole family was gathered around the tree to wish us all a Merry Christmas.  Too bad it wasn't easy to talk.

We didn't get home until almost midnight, the latest we have stayed in years.

So much for ending at 9:30pm. I'm so happy that you all had a great time. Maybe next year we'll even be able to join in the festivities...
