Christmas In January

This past weekend we got the chance to go back to my home…finally…for Christmas (better late than never?).

Wondering why it took so long?  Remember back a few weeks.  My mom hijacked Christmas and then I hijacked New Year’s.  So this was the first weekend that everyone was…well, well.  Save the fact that R was diagnosed with a double ear infection Friday morning (we will not be deterred!!) and then Sunday my dad was told he had not only a sinus infection, but also an ear infection…  I thought only toddlers got those, but whatever.  Bless him.

So anyway, we went to Macon Friday afternoon and had a wonderful time with my family.

Saturday was a little fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of day.  We were all finally up and ready by lunchtime (6 adults, 4 kids, a dog and a cat…) so we went to a favorite local pizza joint for lunch.  Afterwards was the best part.  All of us, Grammy, Pop Pop, cousins and all went to the “big slide”.  There’s a hill in downtown Macon called Coleman’s Hill and someone built a slide last Summer.  For about an hour (or less?) we raced down and back up again, taking turns with other kids (and their parents!), having an absolute blast!

I hope you had a great weekend doing something that made you go “weeeee!”!!

  • Send Me a Letter

    I’m not one to make New Year’s Resolutions…mainly because I know I won’t keep them.  Last year I told myself I was going to send more cards and letters to friends the old fashioned way…(“snail”) mail.  You know, with paper and ink and stamps. I’m sad to report that I didn’t. This year is even…
