Chris was awake and dressed and ready to start a busy day … by 6:30 a.m.! And it gets better. She went with me to Walmart at 6:45. It was amazing how much stuff was on the Christmas sale racks. We may or may not have scored an item or two (or seven or nine) there. All I know is, I was able to finish my Dad gifts shopping. Even found a minute or two to wrap them - the wrapping job is indicative of the time spent in the process.
Chris
got Sam up and at ‘em as soon as we got home. She had some breakfast and did
some paperwork. That was all she could muster, though. After a brief stint
sitting in the sunshine spot by the tree, she went back to her room.
The
first wave of Christmas guests arrived around 11:30. Actually, it was just
Leia, the LaMarque Vaughan’s dog. They dropped her off here and the bearded
dragon across the street at the Geran’s. They are having Christmas with
Christina’s family the next few days before returning here for ours on
Wednesday.
The
Waco Vaughan’s arrived around 6:30. All the kids (including MaddieBelle) were
pretty wired from being in the car for five hours. It normally wouldn’t have
taken quite that long, but thanks to their GPS mystery voice, they managed to
avoid two major wrecks on I45. Plus they
were able to take the scenic route through Kemah. Everybody got settled in pretty quickly, and
eventually all of us drifted off to sleep.
Well, Chris and I did, anyway.
The older guys and Josh and Christi were still “debating” over a movie
to watch. Sounded like it was Christi’s
turn to pick. Her viewing of choice was “Lost
in Space.” Sadly, it was not available.
I have no idea what they finally decided on.

Corinthians
9:8 says, “And
God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having
all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
Father,
thank you for the safe travels our Waco Vaughan’s had. And thanks for the extra GPS info that got
them around the wrecks. Amen.
