We were very blessed this year to have my uncle for Christmas.  Last year a week before Christmas, he was told he had 3 months to a year to live.   He is not doing well but he is still with us and in the last 4 months has started attending church.  Big Jump for him.    Unfortunately he was not up to coming over to my folks house for Christmas Eve.  Several of our family ran across the street throughout the night to see him.  I wasn't feeling to well and didn't want to give him anything.  So I will go see him later.    We were also blessed to have my sister and her husband and her two kids home for christmas.  This is the first time in about 10 years.  We had a great time, on Monday after my sister came in her and our mother and aunt went to Branson for the day, shopping and went to see a Christmas show.    Thursday we finished up our Christmas shopping and Friday we had to run everywhere, the kids had Program practice at church and then Homecoming at school.  My niece won homecoming queen.  Saturday I cleaned my mom's house while she grocery shopped then Sunday we had Church and the program on top of Christmas with my Husbands family.    Monday I cooked and then off to my parents for family fun.  We played bingo and had tons of food.    Christmas morning was fun.  The kids were up at 5:45.  My parents and sister and her family were going to come to our house to watch my kids open presents.   They were suppose to come at 6:30  that was a long 45 min. to keep kids out of the living room.  They were very surprised and STILL BELIEVE  IN SANTA.  I know some think this is horrible, but I think as long as they know the real reason we celebrate, it doesn't hurt for them.   Anyway, they had a great time, we have been busy cleaning house this morning.    My sister and I are going to start working together, even though she lives in Minnesota to lose some weight.  We are both going to dust off the treadmills and get busy,  I have been doing crunches for a week now, 100 in the morning and 100 at night.  I can already tell a big difference in my stomach.  Also SANTA brought the kids a Wii,  we have been boxing , bowling  and playing tennis and baseball.  I stayed up last night and  boxed for about 30 minutes last night and boy am I sore.  I think I just found my new workout program.  Play Wii for 30 minutes every night.  Better run, I have to flip laundry and the knob broke off of the washer, so I have to use  needle nose pliers to turn it on, have to go to town today and find a new knob.

Blessings to all, hope everyone had a great Christmas
