Things I am looking forward to at the Beach

1. Hearing my son in laws and husband laugh at how excited we are to go shopping with just the girls, Mary Fuller and Brooks and 1000 others who are crazy as we are to be at the beach shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.

2. Watching the ocean with my husband at my side and thanking God for our family who still wants to be with us.

3. Trying to get the ultimate Christmas card. It will be either good or a disaster.It's up for grabs this year as to how the outcome will be!I will try to remain calm and not be Hitler to my family to get the perfect shot that I want!

4. Eating traditional family foods and loving that they warm your heart and knowing there are no calories in any of this because it is a eating holiday.

5.Mary Fuller gets to sleep in the middle between Papa and Deedee on all family trips in a king size bed . She can talk and talk and talk and I will hinge on every word and go on and on about the day she was born and make up story after story about her mother and dads wedding day and when Brooks was born,you know..Grandmother stuff.

6. Celebrating Dee and Jeane Carroll birthday by going out to dinner one night during our stay.We can afford only one night out as there are so many of us who love to fine dine.

7. Celebrating our family being together. It's hard when when they are married and have so many others to please.

8. Drinking coffee in the early morning and just being still and taking in Gods beauty that surrounds us.

9.Having a craft day. I have a special craft surprise for us girls to work on !

10. Going to make a Christmas ornament at Seaside with the girls. We had such a good time last year ,we hope to do it again.
