Michael actually took these photos yesterday for me. I asked him to take some photos for me as I am still not allowed to walk. These are the photos he brought me...Ornaments on the trees, he loves the Christmas tree...Christmas presents under the tree, some of those are his gifts and he really can’t wait to open them...I laughed when I saw the Lego kit photo. He exchanges gifts at school during his Christmas party. This is the gift I bought for him to exchange. He wants it, he doesn’t want me to wrap it, he wants me to buy another one and I told him no. Christmas is about giving and some other little boy will love this gift. He’s not happy but he does understand and I actually think he is looking forward to giving it to another little boy.

On another note:

I went to the Podiatrist today. Incision looks good. I should have my sutures out next Thursday. After my sutures are out she will see if I can walk in a Croc shoe or if I'll need to stay on crutches for a bit longer...not much further to go! Praying this all works!

Today we celebrate Fred’s 48th birthday!
Michael gets so excited when it comes to Daddy’s birthday! We baked him a chocolate on Chocolate cake. As soon as he walked in the door Michael had the candle lit and was singing him Happy Birthday! Michael got him a card and a gift card from Academy. He wanted to buy Daddy some Ammo but we weren’t sure which kind he needed. So glad Daddy was home to celebrate with us!

Along time ago, like 40 some years ago, this angel was on my Mother and Father’s Christmas tree. It’s not an angel with a lot of flounce and bling but it brings back wonderful memories of past Christmas’s when I was a child. When my Mother was cleaning house and fixing to move out of our childhood home she had put this in the trash pile. I grabbed it. I’ve put it on my tree ever since. She’s seen better days but I like her and whenever I look at her I remember the wonderful Christmas’s we had as children. Michael now looks forward to finding her when it’s time to put her on the top of the tree. He’s still not quiet big enough to put her on the tree by himself but he looks forward to that day. I love that she was around when I was a child and now Michael looks forward to her being on the top of the tree too. I don’t think she will be replaced anytime soon. I asked Michael to take a photo for me this evening and he decided on the Angel at the top of the tree. A good choice I think.

Michael's school Christmas program was tonight. This year’s musical
was called "Christmas on Candy Cane Lane". All the children did a
great job and put on a wonderful show. It was special this year
because "Faraway" Grammy was able to attend and it was her
first time attending one of Michael's school programs.

I’ve always believed that Jesus is the reason for the season and I’ve
taught my son the same beliefs. He looks forward to putting the nativity
up every year. This year we bought a new nativity. I like having one the
children can play with and use their imagination. Our other one was tiny
so I wanted a bigger one, Michael chose this one and we love it.
I am sure it will be with us for a long long time. Michael took this
photo for me this evening.

Michael is pictured above with his Grandparents, I love it! So glad he has been able to spend time with Grandparents and get to know them. He is loved and it shows. I hope he looks back at these photos later in his life and realizes how lucky he is.
We all slept in late this morning and then went over to Fred’s parents house for breakfast. We had a good visit with them. Then we went to Sams club for some grocery’s and back home so Fred could watch the Dallas Cowboy game.
