Christmas is all ready over? I feel like it really didn't even happen. We spent Christmas eve with Al's family, which is always a good time. There is always plenty of food and laughs. This year it was missing something. That something was Tanner. We let him go to his mom's for Christmas early this year. He is always here for Christmas eve. It just didn't feel like Christmas without him. We have yet to have our little family time and watch our kids open their gifts. I am not sure when that will happen, perhaps New Years Eve. We will be celebrating the holidays with my family on New Years Day. I am looking forward to that.
I was eating healthy and loosing weight and decided against making a bunch of tempting goodies. Someone in my house must have complained, because we received 4 different huge batches of goodies. All of which where way to tempting to pass up. And it was all very delicious. My mouth thanks all of you who brought the goodies. My waist line is not as grateful.
Wednesday night, a good friend of ours turned 21. Al has known him since he was a little tyke. He was always hanging around the garage, and when he was old enough, he started coming in the pits with us. He now races and proudly carries on Al's family number, 88. After all, he is like family to us. I knew there was no making excused why I could not attend his party. I figured I could be the DD. I am glad that I switched a day of work with my boss, because Al kept me up most of the night. I think he thought it was his 21st birthday, and he was not doing so hot. He paid dearly yesterday. I hope he is much better today.
After being mother hen and tending to my hubby, I had to tend to Colter. Yesterday, Al had given Colter a cookie, and while he was eating it, he fell and started choking on it. Al yelled out that he was choking and I panicked for a millisecond and thought call 911. I bent down and started hitting his back, but nothing happened. I am not really sure what was going through my mind or what my plans really where, but I scooped him up from behind. I had my arms wrapped around his tummy and I gently gave a quick thrust. He threw up all over the floor and started screaming. I never thought I would be so happy to hear him scream. After it was all over, I realized what had just happened. I was so grateful that I was able to act instead of react. I hope that I never have to again.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. God bless!
