It's been a good and mellow Christmas here in Hurricane. On Christmas morning we eventually got around to opening gifts at about 10:00. I enjoyed watching them open theirs and of course enjoyed opening mine. A couple of weeks ago I started looking for an old Christmas tape that we used to listen to . . . Evie's Christmas. I love it, probably due to years of exposure. I found it on amazon for a mere $150.00. With that background you can imagine how excited I was to find that very CD (well, it was a actually a CD made from her tape- old and warbly as it is) in my stocking this year. Kudos to mothers who know what their children want for Christmas.

We've tried to get out at least once a day. Today we got out for church. Other than that we've been napping. My first nap took place a half hour after I woke up. The second nap was during church. I did not nap during Sunday School. The teacher showed a Jars of Clay video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCC6E7Ptnyc) for part of his lesson. I was sitting anxiously hoping the bishop wouldn't walk in and catch him using non-church material for his lesson. I just woke up from my third nap. Disgusted with myself for not being able to control my sleeping habits, here I am, doing something somewhat productive.
