Merry Christmas!

Have been having a wonderful holiday. On Christmas Day, we piled into the car and drove to Nana's house. There was NO traffic, and we made the trip pretty quick. John and Marcia, Donny, Peggy, Brady, Cory, and Nana were there, and we had a great time. Joe tried out his new paintball set, and the boys and I had fun shooting each other and the hapless trees.

After a superb supper, we said good-bye and headed back home to rescue the dogs. That evening, we opened our gifts. I got a beautiful book on wine, and I'm looking forward to learning! I also got COMBAT COMMANDER: PACIFIC!! The second in the series that I would rate probably the best wargame ever. Peter and I have such a good time playing this series, and now we get to take the war into the Pacific. Really looking forward to my wargame buddy returning so I can annihilate him.

Also got a workout video from Biggest Loser. Okay, so this morning I tried it. I was exhausted after the five minute warm-up. But I persisted and completed the level 1 training (20 minutes). I hope to be out of the hospital by summer. Seriously--great workout, and I'm going to try to stick with it, so I can recover my little girl figure.

Today I'm cooking a turkey, and Matt, Sarah, Rosie, and Trey are coming over. Tomorrow is the big party with our home group, and Nana, John, and Marcia are coming, too!
