CHRISTMAS DAY IN TUCSON
I have always said, "Christmas is for children", and even though there is a much more profound meaning for the Christmas Holiday, it's still a magical day, that millions of kids wait for with great anticipation. Our 5 year old Grand Daughter Laila, is at the age where Santa Claus is very real, and when awakening on Christmas Morning, she realized that the patience required for this special day, had all been worth it. When we arrived at Marc & Chandra's, we were quickly shown all of the new toys, games and other stuff.
Chandra made the return trip from Monterey, CA, arriving back in Tucson around midnite on Christmas Eve. She was still kind of wiped out from lack of sleep, and all of the stress dealing with doctors, and medical issues relating to her Mom's recent surgery and hospitalization. With Mommy being back home, Laila's Christmas returned to normal, and we were all so glad she was able to catch the last flight out of Monterey.
Before leaving Lake Havasu, we knew that if Chandra made it back for Christmas, it would be late. So, we cooked a Turkey before leaving home, and brought most of the other stuff for a Christmas Dinner, which was heartily consumed yesterday afternoon. My camera flash went on the fritz for some reason, necessitating some computer enhancements when I down loaded the photos. The last 3 are a little dark, but not so bad that we aren't at least recognizable.
Yesterday was a relaxing, somewhat quiet afternoon, spent with our loved ones. With all of the craziness in the world today, these special times with family are to be cherished, and kept in our hearts for eternity. We are so thankful that we have opportunities like yesterday, where we can share in the lives of our children, and grand child. Our other kids are on opposite sides of the country, but Mike, Amy, and Dave were in our thoughts, as we celebrated Christmas 2010 in Tucson, Arizona.
