Today was Christmas Eve. Frankie, Grace, Nick and Faith, Phillip, Mariana, Maddy and I celebrated today. We exchanged gifts with the kids. It was very nice and fun. The children loved their presents and it was a great preview of what we have to look forward to tomorrow.
We went to Beth's house this evening. That was extremely nice! She had pizza and we all hung out and opened presents again. They got the girls some wonderful things. Mariana got an adorable outfit and doll. Maddy received her first teddy bear. It was a wonderful celebration of family and love.
This evening we got word that Phil's grandfather passed away. Everyone says that it was fitting that God should bring him home on the day that Grandpa most honored His son. Having been involved in the Christmas Eve celebration once in the past, I understand what they meant by this. While he will be missed on Earth, I'm sure his family will remember him with love and affection. He always struck me as a funny person who loved life and family. I do wish I could have known him a tad better.
Well, we're off to put together some things.
