Christmas Eve and Christmas 2009

We had Mom over to our house on the day before Christmas. She wanted to see pictures of her new great-grandchildren on my computer! Chuck and Cyndi's daughter, Rebekah and her husband, Mike, had twin sons this week! We are all very excited!

Phil and David prepared a turkey dinner, which is never complete without our traditional non-alcoholic sparkling juice!

After stuffing ourselves, we adjourned to the living room to open gifts. David got some toys and treats for Gram's cat.

Mom really enjoyed hanging out with David.

On the way home, I drove Mom through some subdivisions to look at Christmas decorations and lights. (No photos!)

On Christmas day we all went over to Mom's to see "Whiskers" (which is what Mom calls her now) play with her new toys.

The mouse David got for the cat snaps onto a little rubber post on a special scratching mat for cats that we got for her earlier. She promptly snatches it off the post!

We all had a wonderful Christmas Day dinner with Mom at Summer Trace complete with a piano performance of Christmas Carols.

This blog means so much to me. Now I can see my dear friend Mary and her family. Mary looks very well. I miss her so much. It's so good to know that she now has another Mr. Whiskers. She loved that cat so much. He was her buddy. Tell her I said "hello," and I will continue to send messages here and in cards or letters. Bertha
