The meal, to say the least, was incredible. We ate, talked, and ate some more. Friends from church joined us, and we enjoyed great conversations about politics and the times in which we live. We missed our 2 older girls who were celebrating together in Florida. We also missed our extended families in Iowa.
Now the day is over; our eyes are glazed over from too much food; our minds are numbed from football and silly TV. I can hear a book on tape from an upstairs bedroom, kids laughing in the kitchen, and someone practicing scales on the piano. It's good to be a mom with a great family for the holiday!
