Christmas Day @ The Rine's

Christina DS games. (Aunt Marcia gave her a DS this year)


Honey got lots of movies, and other fun things but his big gift was a trip to Myrtle Beach in Feb with 30 other guys to play golf. (What Fun!)


I got lots of fun things to go with my Cricut.

This year we spent a nice quiet day at home. In years past we have gone to friends on Christmas Day and delivered Christmas Presents to them, but this year we made all our deliveries before Christmas. We didn't open presents until almost 10:30 A.M. Jim made the comment "What a difference 15 years makes" When the kids where little we would have been up at the crack of dawn opening our gifts. It's nice to sleep in, but at the same time I miss the excitement of little ones in the house. This year we didn’t put up our Christmas tree or any of our Christmas decorations. We had planned on getting our tree up but time just slipped away and before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve. Jim did pull out his fiber optic tree and put it in the living room so we could put our presents under it.
It doesn’t matter if you have a Christmas tree and lots of Christmas decorations. What matters is what is in your heart and that you are with the ones you love. We did put out John David and Christopher’s trees. We may not have a tree but the boys always will have their trees.
We went out to eat Christmas Day at the Chinese restaurant since it was the only restaurant open. It was a very mellow day. A day to enjoy our family and reflect on Christmas's of the past and dream a little of the Christmases that are to come. A son in-law would be nice :)..(Grandchildren!! Someday!!)
