Once again we’re in the midst of moving during the winter holidays, but we were more prepared this year. Angela had managed to complete most of our shopping while I was at OCS,
and we spent a night with wine, wrapping the gifts together several days BEFORE Christmas instead of on Christmas morning. We rolled out of Blacksburg on December 24th. We had dinner with the Burley’s and exchanged gifts with Tony’s boo while giving Angela a few belated birthday gifts.
We then went to Midnight Mass, but this year Father Scordo also did not fill the Church with incense, so I didn’t tear up all. It was nice to have Rod home this year as well! Everyone was exhausted, so we slept in until 9 or 10am. We then opened gifts and took our time. Angela and I were blessed with many great presents, including a Garmin, which we have used extensively already!
The highlights were our puppies, AJ and Lizzie. AJ has been living in VA Beach with Angela’s parents since Thanksgiving, and it was great to have our little family reunited for the first time since September! AJ has become tolerant of Lizzie, though he has a tendency to smack her around a bit.
They were amusing and active, as we had wrapped their presents in tissue paper. AJ spent all day tearing up all his new toys. Lizzie was cute in tentatively ripping at the tissue instead of the actual present. We should have just gotten her a few pads of tissue paper to play with. They both kept thinking that any gift you had with tissue in it was theirs!
