After all these years of waiting, John finally gets that hip replacement. I have never seen him stand so straight or sit up straight. And no more pain!!
Christmas was so much fun this year. No one was in a hurry to go somewhere. I cooked a turkey with several fixins and we chowed down before opening presents.
Christmas Eve was really warm so I had the kids bundle up in their coats and I got some fake snow so we just pretended it was snowing! We really wanted a white Christmas but we didn't get it.
Sometimes you just want to get away. I flew to Vegas, my mom drove there from Utah and picked me up and we drove on to San Diego. This is where I have my other family that I have known all my life. Lori and I have been the best of friends since we were in the first grade, living in Long Beach. We were bridesmaids in each others weddings as well. Those marriages didn't work out but we remained friends through everything!
