Park Place RV Park
On Monday, Dec. 25th we were all up by 6:30. Gibbs couldn’t sleep in, too excited I guess, so had Daddy up at 6. It’s pretty dark outside at that time and still was when I got up. Bill takes his flashlight or the light on his phone. We made one phone call to his step-mom, my m-i-l, Marilynne, and then opened stockings and gifts. There were a few surprises for each of us but mostly things we’d bought for ourselves. 😉
Christmas morning started like this.
Seems appropriate, doesn't it?
Looks like a star from hundreds of years ago. 💓
Gibbs was
surprised by everything and claimed one new toy as his favourite of the day.
Indestructible I think the tag said. Hahahahaha. Gibbs could prove that theory
wrong any time! We called his 2 daughters; we’d called Krystal yesterday as it
was her birthday, a Christmas eve baby. ♥ Bill spoke to Jess later when
they were done with their gifts. She has the smallest ones that still get
excited over Santa.
Gibbs is smelling for treats but there weren't any
in his stocking 
Just new 'indestructible' toys. 
We have a winner!
He carried it around all day.
I had my
cup of tea, Bill had his cereal and Gibbs and I went for our walk around the
park. Bill left to meet with the guys
for a couple of hours at the flying field. It was a beautiful crisp morning,
41F/5C, but the sky was as clear and blue as it could be. Not a cloud in sight.
It didn’t warm up too much this morning but did make it to 61F/16C by mid-afternoon.
Mom and Dad did well too.
Some clothes in the bottom box too. 
Tools and things plus slippers too.
I made the pan of apple crisp I was taking to dinner and then made some Keto Energy balls. It is a combination of two recipes so I’ll never be able to duplicate it but they look and taste pretty good for a guilt free snack. 😊

| Oh-oh. Gibbs laughs in the face of 'indestructibility'! Ha! It's his toy and although one foot is now empty, at least this year, he doesn't try to eat the stuff. |
For lunch, we just had cheese, crackers and split an apple
since our big meal was at 3 pm. Bill went up for a snooze and then had his
shower while the crisp baked and I blended the coleslaw.
I should have used my smaller glass pan
Patti said it was good, she was looking forward to it.
These little keto balls are tasty too.
There
were about 35 for dinner and enough food to feed twice that. I know from what I
brought home, why do we think people eat more than they do? I could’ve made half
of what I took and still fed everyone. LOL Good thing we like coleslaw and
apple crisp! It was a good time sitting with our camp mates and we were home by
4:30. The extra good thing is that we won’t need anything else to eat tonight, if
we can just keep our hands out of the goodies!
Gibbs and I waiting for Daddy to come home
He was such a little cuddle bum this morning. 💗
We went
upstairs to watch a movie together and I managed to be the one to drop off to
sleep. Hallmark movies can do that to me! 😊 It was nice and cozy, with Gibbs getting in between us for
his extra doses of attention if we so much as dared to look at each other. He’s
not spoiled, at all. ♥ I came down to write today’s post
and see if I can get it finished.

| I guess it is a lot more food than I normall eat but I still didn't taste everything. It was all good.....the rice dish, um, not my favourite. |
It's been a wonderful day! Everyone back home seems to be doing fine although wee Alexander has a cold and isn’t sleeping well. That means, Mom and Dad are also not sleeping well. These things will pass and he’ll be back to his giggly little self again – soon, we hope. Merry Christmas, everyone! If you comment, how about sharing a favourite Christmastime memory of your childhood? I’d love to read them.

| Just in case you didn't have enough to eat of the first course, there was dessert! Oh my goodness! Good night all! |
Thank you
for the visit!
