We've had a fantastic 2 days of celebrating Christmas. We had such a great time just being with family. Our worship service last night was so very meaningful. Really enjoyed it!
I got everything I wanted this year. Of course, I did all the shopping for myself and just gave it to Walt to wrap up and give me. LOL!!! He did come up with several ideas of his own tho
We laughed so hard today because this year, for the first time, our boys got primarily clothes. Justin got clothes, essentials for college (paper towels, TP, snack foods, etc.), and a GPS. Keith got clothes and a couple of small things. But the thing he had asked for the most was a new electric guitar. I got him a whole "kit". It had a really good quality electric guitar as well as a nice Fender amplifier that plays drums, base and other things as well. Do you know how big a box is for all of that? Way bigger than I wanted to wrap!!
So I didn't wrap it. I put a note in his stocking telling him that he should check out in the train room because he had one more gift out there. So this poor kids kept opening jeans, sweatshirts, underwear, etc., etc. But no guitar. He was getting pretty discouraged.
Finally when everything else had been opened, he got to his stocking and found the note. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! We have been seranaded all day!!!!!
Walt's brother was here and he spent most of his day on his phone, calling everyone we know, saying, "Listen to this kid play this guitar!! Isn't he amazing!!!"
This has been the very best thing for Keith's self-esteem. I am one happy mama
