Merry Christmas

Well it is 2:45 Christmas afternoon.  Effectively, Christmas 2012 is over.  For me it was good in some regards but not so good in others.

On the 22nd we went to a weeding reception for some friends.  We did not attend the actual wedding as it was a very small ceremony mostly for family.  We did see a number of people we knew at the reception and had a very good time.

 Elizabeth even got to see Santa

 

Yesterday, we had family Christmas.  Bryan and his family and Bridget with her family visited.  We had something to eat and open gifts.  It was a lot of fun.  It was also a step in recovery for me.  Since it was family, I invited my ex to attend also.  This was the first time we actually had to interact since we were divorced.  It went very well.  Elizabeth was a most gracious host.

 

 

This morning Elizabeth, Candi and I had our Christmas.  Candi loves to rip tissue paper.  I must have been on the Nice list as Santa was very good to me.

 

The not so nice part is Elizabeth has been sick.  She has had a cough and the past several days it has gotten much worse.  Tomorrow we will go to the doctor.  Hopefully he can get her some relief.

 

Late this morning we started returning our house to normal.  While the tree is still up most of the other decorations have been packed away until 2013.  The holidays are always wonderful to celebrate but it is also very good to get back to normal.

 

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas.
