On Our Way

We are all packed and ready for our trip to Canada. BRRRR!!! Grass and I spent the first part of our christmas here in Idaho with his bro from Washington. Wife, son, and Daughter were here. They had a Christmas present early for themselves. They are having another baby. I am very happy for them. They are great parents. They arrived about 8am Monday morning and we met them in town to welcome them. We then met back at 10am for breakfast. Mat and I then shipped off to Grandma's to do somethings around her house and then ran some arrons in preparations for our Christmas dinner.
I made Turkey and all the fixings, oatmeal cake and cherry pie. OMG we stuffed ourselves at 1pm and then again at 11:00 pm for a late night snack.
We got the the baby an outfit and the little girl (8 years old) a jewlery box and a necklass that I had made for me from a dear old friend. He use to mine opal and then make them into jewlery. She was so excited to get it. I just about cried.
The guys then played awhile on the computers and C, and I played battleship. Goodness this child has only watched tv all her life. But that didn't stop her from kicking my butt.
We all then played monopoly but it got cut short because the baby was really sick and had a fever of 101.6 and rising fast. He threw up and got us a little frazzled and decided to change the medicine to calm him. It is so heart breaking to see a baby in pain and discomfort. Mama held onto him as he fell in and out of sleep.
We then had coffee in the morning and said our goodbyes and good wishes.
Then it was Grass's and I's turn for presents. I got a little portable CD boombox and he got a new saw. We couldn't afford much.
We dropped off all the pets and got the van cleaned and oiled up, Wish we could leave tonight.

Merry CHristmas to all and a good warm night.
