Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

It was a nice Christmas for us. We made some enchiladas on Christmas eve day then went to the Christmas Vigil at Our Lady Of Guadalupe Church. The childrens mass is always good as they recreate the nativity. It wasnt that many years ago that Kate and Kelly were dressed up and participating in the mass. After church we cruised over to Cripps (Crippsmas ) place to see the Christmas lights.  This is THE place in Fremont to see decorations and its only 4 blocks from home. Then it was home to bake some cookies for Santa. We exchanged some gifts and drank some eggnog. After that we were off to bed for a long winters nap.

Christmas morning the girls slept in (not like the old days when they were up at the crack of dawn).  Spent the rest of the day playing with our “stuff”. If there was a word to describe this Christmas it would be “high tech”. Digital camera, wireless router, mini-Ipods.  Too much technology for this simple mind. Spent most of the morning trying to get Kate’s mini-ipod to work.

Had a great Christmas dinner over at Al and Debbie’s house. Tri-tip, sausages and enchiladas! Now thats my kind of Christmas dinner! Deb’s mom and dad were there as well. Always a nice time at the Shull House. Deb’s dad, Nate, got a poker table for Christmas so we even played a little holiday Texas Hold’em.

Barb is back to work today but the girls and I have the week off. With the exception of some soccer practice and an alumni game on Thursday, we are just going to kick back, relax, visit friends and family, and enjoy our time together. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas! God Bless.
