Merry Christmas to all!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. We had Wyatt, Ethan and one of our "3rd sons" on Christmas morning. Wyatt's buddy Brett is home from the Marine Corp for the holidays and spent Christmas morning with us. We didn't get up until 9:00 and then had brunch. Uncle David and Aunt Carolyn gave us a griddle thingy (I'm not the cook in the family) and Clint made pancakes, sausage and eggs. It was yummy. After that, I went back to bed and read/dozed until time to make cookies and dinner for us. We had Alfredo and garlic bread. Wyatt and Ethan had some friends over to eat with us, plus Mom and Daddy got home yesterday (hallelujah!) and Beth was here too. I made sugar cookies that were hopefully better than the cookies Brett gets in an MRE. Beth made two pies, both pecan, that were half gone when I got up this morning. I had left over cookies for breakfast b/c you can pick those up and eat them while taking the dogs out. Clint is such a good guy. I went to bad at 7:30 and he took care of the dogs until they got us up at 7:00 this morning. Then, I went back to bed and didn't get up until 10:00. I think this week finally caught up with me.
We had a water line break on Monday night. Or was is Sunday night? The days have run together. William the Plumber got it fixed, plus several other plumbing problems taken care of for us. He's coming back next week to finish EVERYTHING PLUMBING in the house. We won't know how to act with every toilet, sink and shower working like it should:)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Please keep Clint's grandmother, MamaKin, and his Uncle David in your prayers. She fell last week and fractured her pelvis. She is in a long term care facility and seems to be doing very well. I fell when I was pregnant with Wyatt and had the same type of injury. I was 80 years younger than MamaKin and still had a hard time dealing with how painful it is. The doctor's aren't quite sure how to treat someone her age with this type of injury. Imagine that, she's only 102:)
