I love having grown children. They are so much more fun as adults than they were when I had to be the mom and be in control of everything. We had an amazing holiday with my son and his girlfriend and my daughter. We had to go to my mom and dad's for Christmas, but on Christmas Eve, we opened stockings with the kids and had a wonderful dinner of prime rib and twice-baked potatoes. Yum! Christmas night, we opened presents and had lasagna at midnight. We got fun gifts for each other, and I got a pair of pink crocs with winter fur from K.
Yesterday, K, L, and I went to Dillards for their annual 50% off sale, and we racked up the savings. It was fun to have K along and for her to become part of our tradition. I bought four dresses, a skirt, a scarf, gloves, two strands of pearls, a pair of shoes, a belt, and four pairs of earrings for under 150. That was my budget for the day, and then we went to a new restaurant and had sandwiches and chicken and dumplings.On the way home, we had a Starbucky. L and C watched an old tv series on DVD last night, and I worked in my craft room, organizing and cleaning up from Christmas crafting. L and C go back to school tomorrow, but I am off until Wednesday. I love college!
Violet goes to kinderprison next week, so hopefully she will be calmer next time she comes to visit. I am going to post some pictures of my craft room soon.
