Christmas Afternoon

After relaxing, watching Jackson play with his toys, putting in a movie or two, calling family on the phone and on the computer, we ate our Christmas dinner together.

I was amazed that we only had one casualty, a poor stemware glass that didn't dodge Robert's elbow fast enough.
Oh, well, at least the glass didn't get in the food, right?

It was an easy dinner as I planned much in advance and use a lot of ready-to-eat food. Still, it was yummy.

Following dinner, Matt, Jackson, and I took our trip to the cemetery to do one last special Christmas tradition.

It was cold, and so we didn't last long, but Jackson still wanted to share his microwave with Sissy for a few minutes.


I, of course, shed a few "Missing My Daughter" tears, then thought of the grand celebration in heaven, and smiled. She was probably enjoying Christmas, too.

Thanks, Robert and Kristin, for coming and enjoying Christmas with us.
