Kathy and the kids left for Orlando about 5pm for their flight out, back to Montana in the morning. It was an especially memorable Christmas since it has been many years since we have had children around the Christmas tree Christmas morning. I just wanted to soak it in to savor the moment for the years ahead when there will not be any children here. They are all growing up so quickly there won't be any little ones in our family for much longer. Unless you count great grand kids we hardly ever see.
Christmas dinner was different than for those up north, as we sat gathered around the table out on the lanai, since it was too warm in the house. Unusual even for us here in Florida, which is usually about 10 degrees cooler. We weren't complaining, though, since it gave a welcomed break for the visiting Montanans. They will have to brace themselves for that first blast of frigid air as they leave the airport.
Michael got all the Christmas boxes, etc. over to the recycling center today to get ahead of the full containers bound to be over flowing by tomorrow. It sure did keep our regular trash down to a minimum. I can remember from years past how the trash was always stuffed on Christmas day. Makes me feel sooo much better about it all.
