Merry Christmas

Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Ours was good, my favorite part is the fact that it was a white Christmas for the first time in YEARS. Not only did it snow, but it dumped down a lot of snow, as you can see.
It has been snowing off and on all day and most everyone in the house is LOVING it. This year is going to be a memorable Christmas for me. As most of if not all of you know, Dave is a big Dallas Cowboys fan. Dan and Chrystal moved there last year, and because Chrystal is a Cowboys Nazi (love you sis.) she vowed she would NEVER support the Cowboys team. Knowing this, Dave asked for a Cowboys Jersey for Christmas. (Love the number system on the gifts, you should make that a tradition.)
When it came time for Dave to open his gift, having Dan and Chrystal on Speaker Phone while he opened it, he stopped when he opened the box and was speachless for a while. Once I saw what it was, I immediately asked Chrystal if she was sick. He not only loves it, but took it as a GREAT compliment that Dan and Chrystal approve of him. Here's what they gave him.
Yes, that is a Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys Jersey, sent from Dallas TX. It is now his Lucky Jersey. ;) After all was said and done with opening gifts, we sat around and visited, ate breakfast, and then were pretty much lazy until the time to see Grandma Gean. This is the hardest time of the year for me as "Tradition" was broken because Grandma Wanda always came over early in the morning to watch everyone open gifts. We all missed her this year, and I know she's smiling down on us.
Last week I was dog sitting for Chas (for those of you who don't know, he's Heather's new boyfriend.) while he and Heather headed to Boise. That Saturday morning, I went to take Moto out to piddle, and being the thoughtless person that I am when I first wake up, I put on slippers and stepped out on the front porch. My foot went out from under me, almost folded in half and then twisted. Mom took me to the doctor later that day, and found that I didn't break it, but had a Severe Sprain. I've been on it more than I'd like, and here's what it looks like. The picture doesn't really depict how bad it is, the bruise is actually darker and the foot is swollen.
Speaking of my foot, I need to go elevate and ice it, I haven't done that today, and it's killing me. Merry Christmas to everyone, happy holidays.
