Christmas 2008

Well Christmas was wonderful. On the Sunday before, Pat and Beth had a Christmas Party at their house in Valley Center. It was great. Pat and I drank Seagrams Seven, and the Jack Daniels on the rocks. Poor old Pat passed out. I didn't feel anything. Except I was having a good time. The grandkids were their, and they had lots of people to play with. AJ was around me all the time. I gave her my camera, and she took a lot of pictures. She is so cool.

Christmas Eve, Rick and Eileen, Peter and Leslie went to mass with Atring and I at the Miramar Airmen's Chapel. It was a good mass, and then we came home, drank bourbon, opened presents. and had a great time. Peter and Leslie left about 2 am to go back to Los Angeles..they plan to see Leslie's parents Christmas Day. Tito was unable to make it. He said he was spending Christmas Eve with his sons.
Nathan was unable to make it Christmas Eve because he had to work, but they did show up on Chritmas Day. Driving in the rain from LA, Nathan and Tenisha arrived and we had a great time talking...

Later in the evening Rick took all of us to the movie. We saw "Marley and Me."
They were all bugging me after the movie asking "Did you cry?" Of course I did, (yet another curse of ALS).
But despite that we had a wonderful time. The best part of Christmas has been and always will be the fact that all my sons come home to see Atring and I. That is what I look forward to the most.
I love those boys so much!
