Christmas is almost here! Jack asked this morning when we get to open presents! That's the first sign that he is getting excited about Christmas.

When we pulled out our seperate Christmas decorating stores we found we have many of the same types of ornaments and they all blended great on our tree. I have never seen the bubble lights that Jack has! They are really neat and add gentle movement to the lighting... not the strobe light action that triggers ecteleptic fits!

We're ready! All our packages have been sent. We've received presents from Florida (that's when Jack got curious about when we open presents.) and our little presents to each other are wrapped and under the tree.

Our BIG present to each other is a double recliner/rocker that was delivered last week! It has the central position in the family room where we can snuggle. If I watch a TV show, Jack watches a few minutes of TV, reads awhile, and naps. If Jack is "surfing" the 100's of TV channels as he calls watching TV, I read, work on my laptop, or watch the 45 seconds of each show as they flip by like a slideshow. We're togeather all the while! I love it.

I will start cooking tomorrow for the Christmas lunch we are having Dad over for. We have been invited to a big dinner at Pat's house and for dessert at Mark and Rebecca's. We will be eating ALL day. Good thing we finnished our YMCA radical body makeover last Wednesday!

I lost some body fat (about 7 pounds) but not any on the scales! Muscle weighs more than fat! So they say. Jack's results were simular. Our goal is to be in shape for scuba diving and we are headed in that direction. I am running this afternoon with Signe to keep up the cardio workouts and hopefully loose a few pounds before February 2nd!

Merry Christmas to all of you. Love what you do with the day!
