Alexiss had only asked Santa for a pink pony and a Paw Patroller. Unfortunately the Paw Patroller was no where to be found, not even at the North Pole! He made up for it by hiding the Paw Patrol gang (stuffies) through out the house.
Christmas Eve we were all in a fluster, Maw in the kitchen and Alexiss in her dress. Awaiting the arrival of our close friends Matt and Cindi. We ate, we laughed....we had a great night and day. The turkey was amazing! Much better than the year I tried turkey breast in the crock pot and the plug had kinda come loose, mind you ham and eggs for Christmas was just as good, it's the company that makes it memorable.
So I kept warm in the entrance while calling to tell Mark what happened. By luck, he had taken the truck keys out of his pocket and put them on the hook at home! Now I just had to get home. One parent stayed and made sure I was okay, offering even after she left to help if I needed it and called. One friend had just left to go help out an aunt, one friend had gone into the office instead of working from home, and one friend said her husband was on his way to town anyway and had time to help. I figured I'd take today off instead and go into the office on Friday. More good luck, our door has a keypad, it held in for one more move before the batteries gave out. AND I got to see the most wonderful sunrise. Ahhh, life is good.
