After Christmas morning at Megan, Daniel, Emmy and Audrey’s, we were all back at Mom and Pops in early afternoon for some linner/dunch…!!!

Some chips and queso to start, and a charcuterie plate…!!!!!

I, apparently, somehow, forgot to get a pic of my plate with leftover pork ribs, shrimp, etc. , but I did get a pic of Moms pecan pie, and my dessert plate with a slice of pecan pie, a slice of the family strudel and a brownie square…!!!!!

Pawpaw's looking good!! God bless him.

As you probably remember, my dad is just a year older, but he had some bad luck health wise this year and is now wheelchair-bound in assisted living. Big adjustment for a.man who was.completely independent in April. My life would actually be easier if he'd agreed to.move in with us.

And, finally, for the last Christmas Day/Night celebration, opening presents time…!!!



And, I ended up with some wonderful gifts…!!!!!

Disney socks, two fun history books, two cool shirts, slip-on shoes that I love, a framed Cinderella Castle architectural drawing print, a book about the history of the monorail, and yet another cool shirt…!!!!!



To all that celebrate, I hope y’all all had a most very Merry Christmas, as well…cheers to all of y’all, and to those that celebrate other beloved Holidays…!!!!!

Thank you, and he really does look good for his age.
And yes, I do remember you relating that to me. So very sorry to hear of his more recent health issues, but I hope he is as comfortable as he can be.
We’ve (my two younger bros and younger sis) discussed all of this with our folks, as they are both, definitely, still of sound mind, but time is passing, and there’s no escaping that.
We are beyond grateful and blessed to have had them in all our lives for as long as we have, as I know many others haven’t been as fortunate as us in that regard.
MIL living with us in her last days was the best possible thing for her, and us.
My folks are of a different mindset, actually, but, as long as they are of sound mind, that’s their choice.
I’m a pretty upbeat guy, but what’s coming is inevitable, and I know it’s gonna’ hurt way more than I can even imagine, right now.
However, there is something to be said for, at least, having some time to mentally prepare for it.
Also, ya’ never know, I’m no spring chicken, and may very well croak before both of them…ya’ never know…sorry, just couldn’t resist adding a little levity to it all…!!!

Christmas was pretty low key for us. No tree or lights at the house, as we didn’t make it home until midnight of Christmas Eve day. I did all the wrapping on the 24th before we went to my brother’s in the evening.

Christmas morning and brunch was also at his house, and then his in-laws had kindly invited us to have Christmas dinner with them.

Today was the annual D-Family Boxing Day. We hosted last year, and then this year it went back to the top to the eldest sibling. Unfortunately his 9-month old puppy had major surgery a week or so ago, so his wife had to stay with the pup, and B was flying solo. He’s 74 years old and not in the greatest health, so there was no way we let him do it on his own. Mike, Spenser, and I arrived early to set up, and after everyone left including the host, we stayed at the hall to clean up.

I have no pics from any of the events.

We have a huge undertaking ahead of us this week (nothing fun), details of which I’ll share later. Changes are a-coming.

Not a bad Christmas (which is impossible as long as you have friends and family who love you), but definitely not top 10.

Love you guys.

Love you too. xx Happy Holidays!!

Good that you got to spend the festive period with family (Even if not the best day ever).
Hope the changes are good for you crazy kids.

As you mentioned, even though rough times don’t make it easy, always a good Christmas surrounded by those that love you, and that gives you the strength to forge ahead.
Not to detract from what y’all are going through right now, at all, but we can relate.
We were right in the middle of moving near the end of last year, MIL fell on Christmas Eve (she hadn’t even been in the house for 12 hours), ended up in the hospital, and I think most here know the rest.
We still celebrated, as we could, and that bolstered us for the year to come, but it was a bit of a rough Holiday season.
My sincerest prayers and thoughts that all y’all are going through works out as smoothly as possible, and for the best.
And, much love to you and yours, as well…!!!

Glad that you had a nice Christmas brunch and dinner. Regarding what's coming up, I wish you the best. Hoping that 2025 will work out well for you all. Hugs.
