Merry Christmas from the family!
Mama and daddy brought Kentucky Fried Chicken and all the fixin's, Adam and Dorothy brought deviled eggs and brownies, and we had meatballs, french bread pizzas and snack mix ready. We grubbed down and it was good.
Then we all exchanged gifts...everybody opened a gift, then we showed and thanked...lather, rinse, repeat.
I won't go into detail about all the gifts, but I will tell about my jeans. I'm wearing new jeans today which is good because I'm about to lose a pocket on all my old jeans. Of course, this means four more days we can put off washing clothes now!
More soon.
