Merry Christmas!

It's a great time of year to make a final connection with friends and family isn't it?  What a joy it's been for Karen and I to spend our Christmas season with Paul, Ashley and Alison.... did I say Alison.  Good... what a doll baby.

We spent around 18-19 hours in the car..... plus an extra day and night in Wilson, NC, due to the huge blizzard that went through the northeast (making our trip a total of 57 hours) ....... got into huge backups around Washington DC due to snow removal efforts ..... and now have to make the return trip.  Would we do it again?  Of course!

Otherwise we would have missed our granddaughters first Christmas...... letting her crawl all over me on the floor.... getting those open mouth kisses...... hearing those random laughs whenever she felt like it..... seeing Alison play in the snow for the first time (okay, not really "play", more like lay on the snow in her new snow suit and watch her family have a snow ball fight)..... 24" of snow....... fun Christmas movies........ approximately 10 lbs. of monkey bread consumed by myself.......... my daughter's killer white chicken chili...... and of course, we would have missed making the three anatomically correct snow "people" that represents the Earwood family, right outside their front door.  It doesn't get any better than that!





I hope you enjoyed your Christmas time this year as well.  I love and appreciate each of you who take the time and effort to share my life through my blog.  It's been fun.  I hope you all have a great 2010.  God bless!
