Christmas Eve, Norman and I joined friends for an annual Christmas Eve potluck dinner party and fun gift exchange. The spread was delicious, the green beans, very tasty... and we all had a grand time...
The best present of this holiday: Baby Elias is home! He came home Friday and weighs 5 pounds +. ... Dolly says he's a night owl - up most of the night so that's leaving her a little peak -ed. She's doing well tho' there's a little paralysis on her right arm - a result of the medication and some nerve damage...but, she's getting better, every day. Fortunately, she'd done most of her holiday shopping before Thanksgiving so that was out of the way... Both Chris and Elias got new Christmas jammies, too... Unfortunately, several of my nieces have been smitten by a cold/flu bug, so that put the brakes on a family gathering...
Five weeks ago to this day, the world stopped as Dolly, seven months pregnant, was in severe distress. Five weeks ago to this day, Baby Elias, born. Today, they are both home and getting stronger and better each passing day. For these blessings, we are forever grateful.
And here it is 7 pm on Christmas Day 2017. Hard to believe that there will be 365 days til Christmas 2018... Happy Holidays!
Cheers~
