Everyone is home now. My daughter got home last night from her ski trip with her grandpa. She had a good time, though the conditions were not the best since Utah is getting a ton of snow and ice. She has determined that snow and cold weather are good to visit but she would not like to live there. My son on the other hand, totally likes the cold and snow and has already warned me that he may move north as an adult. I of course advised him that I am only in Florida right now because I do not want to uproot the kids and cannot take them out of the state because their dad is here. Once they both are in college, I will be free to look for a job in another state if I so choose, so I may not stay here either. Only time will tell where I will end up.
Tonight we are hosting dinner for 11. That should be fun. Luckily it is warm enough that I can put the kids on the porch to eat if there is not enough room in the house...lol. I have advised the kids that they can open their gifts early on Christmas Eve so that they have some time to enjoy them before they go to their Dad's for a week. So, right now, I am trying to enjoy that everyone is home.
Michelle, thank you so much for visiting me at Rook No. 17. Enjoy having your family together, have a marvelous Christmas, and may your big dinner tonight go off without a hitch! Warmest wishes, Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe do that all the time - putting the kids outside to eat! They have the best time, and it keeps things quiet for the adults ; )
ReplyDeleteI would love to live up north myself - I love snow! We're in Texas, so we probably get as much snow as you do! :-)
I hope you have a good dinner!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it, babay! You deserve every ounce of that togetherness-- so soak it up! And as for moving someplace cold? As a Minnesotan I feel qualified to say: Bite your tongue!! LOL Merry Christmas to you and yours! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck hosting dinner for 11! Tomorrow we have about 9 and already I am thinking I won't be able to cope!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
