Christmas has never been my favorite holiday. As a child some were good and some were not. Once I had children I realized its all about the kids. Then again after the boys left home it wasn't so good.
Christmas 2010 has been the BEST! Of course my outlook is different and I cherish each and every moment but this year I decided to do things I haven't done in a while.
The first thing I decided was because I have a new grand son I wanted to make this year special for him and our family.
I decided to make my gingerbread house again. Not only a house for me but one smaller one for my grandson, Mark and my two little sisters, Angelina and Ashanti. We had so much fun. Evelyn and Ben came to visit and stayed the night with me. The girls spent almost 2 hours decorating their little gingerbread houses. I told Evelyn this will be our tradition each year for Christmas.
The next day we went to Snoopy's Ice Rink to see the lighting of the Christmas tree. The girls met Alex, The Snow Queen who is a friend of Maxwell's. She introduced Charlie Brown and Woodstock to the girls. I think they had alot of fun!
Little Markie and I decorated his gingerbread house the next day. Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let him eat the icing but Nana put a little on his nose. He sat staring at the gingerbread house and a few times reached out and felt the different things on his house. Next year will be more fun!
Last night on Christmas we spent the time at Mark and Erin's house. I made my traditional ham, scalloped potatos, gnocchi, and fruit salad. Everything was so good and the day was so fun. Little Markie was the star attraction. He wasn't feeling good and has more teeth coming in but he was still a good little guy. Sissy Mary and the girls came over too, including Nana. We had a wonderful Christmas. I hope everyone had a blessed one too!
Love,
Debbie

Debbie, I was one of those who was worried about you. Your last posting was in Aug. I thought you weren't feeling well enough to keep up on your blog. Finally I asked Tip, and she said she had just talked to you and that you were fine. The baby is beautiful
xmas looked amazing, and your little sister's are really cute!!!!
Debbie,
I haven't seen you in a while. I hope all is well with you. It seems that 2010 was a good year. I hope 2011 is the same. We create history every day. Let's write a good story.
