Happy Birthday Alexandra

Here's she is - the birthday girl! She went off to school all dressed up and pretty and excited. We've had the big count down until today so we had to be ready when she woke up.

I surprised her with an early gift of one of the Webkidz she was wanting. They went shopping last night and after a telephone call to Kevin warning him not to get her one - she was so surprised when I handed her the one she was asking for wrapped in tissue. The next chore was finding a name then certifying the adoption which she'll complete upon her return home from school.

We'll have a small family gathering for her birthday party this evening. I can't remember when I was her age, that was a long time ago. She's a sweet girl.

We're putting up the Christmas tree tonight too. She loves to help and so does our daughter Suzanne. Many times in recent years I trimmed the tree alone, although Tom did help when he was home. Tonight is special and we'll all do a little trimming.

Bob has put some lights outside but we're not doing the whole exterior like we use to do - he just painted the house and I recommended he not bother putting new nail holes to hold the Christmas lights - he was relieved. Hoping to put the house up for sale next spring.

Hope you are having a great day. December first - where did this year go? We've had a busy family year - lots of visitors and health problems to overcome. Looking forward to enjoying the Spirit of Christmas and family. God bless and take care of you all.
