Catching up

So, it's been awhile again since I posted last. For some reason, after Thanksgiving, things just got busier and busier. Go figure. :-)

So, Thanksgiving went really well. I didn't say anything I would regret later to my cousin, but I did reassure her that I love her. And we played with her sweet, happy little boy. And loved on everyone there. It was awkward at times, and not as easy as I wish I could say it was, but it was good.
And my Grandpa looks good, too. He's in the middle of going through 6 or 7 weeks of radiation for his cancer, but the doctors said the chemo shrank the tumors and that he's doing really well. He seemed in really good spirits and didn't sleep much more than "normal" for him.

Since then, I've gone through several parties, one of the ones where I sell kitchen items and one that was a church ladies' Christmas party and lots of fun. I've made several crocheted gifts for family and shopped for the rest of the gifts. In our family, we not only have Christmas in December, but we also have four birthdays. Whew!

What's really amazing and wonderful is that we get to spend Christmas with our family for the first time in three years. We're headed to Memphis for a few days to see his family and then back through Louisiana to see my family. I'm so excited! I've got everything wrapped and a pumpkin pie made for my father-in-law. I'm so ready for this week off of work and a week with family. So ready. I plan to take my camera. Hopefully, I will remember to use it this trip.
