What an awesome holiday...
12/26/2007 07:24 a.m.


Ahhhh, even sick as I am, I couldn't have asked for a better holiday. I had four of my six kids here, and my step-daughter from my last marriage (who is really still one of my kids anyway) came from college. Miah was amazingly wonderful, and everyone loved the video games we got. We had one of the best family days I think we've ever had. Steven pulled me aside and said, "Mom, this was the best Christmas EVER." And then Amanda said the same thing to her other siblings, and everyone agreed. Then Courtney (my step daughter) brought in a game she'd gotten from one of her other relatives, and it was a blast playing that game.

I'm feeling twighlight-zoney and blissfully blessed. Today was a good day, everyone laughing and eating and playing games together. Together. Ahhhhhhh. Such a wonderous, amazing word today. Together.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
I am currently Affectionate
I am listening to Miah play the blues improv

I'm so happy to read yours was as wonderful as mine. That one word says it all. Together. I got your Christmas card! I'm so sorry, I knew I was forgetting something in all the Christmas crush. I fully intend to make you one of those haiku New Years postcards like Kathy has been posting. Something specific to you and the beautiful spirit you are. I posted how the scavenger hunt went (great success) if you want to read it. Big hugs to you, sweet Ali!
