My husband and I went to visit our mothers yesterday. My mom hasn't been getting out much lately because it has been so cold here. We all enjoyed visiting with each other. It was great getting to see my mom and hug her. We visited my mom first for a couple of hours then visited my husband's mom for a couple of hours. We will being seeing them both Christmas day also. But we are usually rushed on Christmas day plus we may be getting snow that day so right now I don't know if we will be able to make it to visit that day or not. If we can't, we will definitely go to see them both again asap.

im so glad u could spend time with loved ones just reaching out and hugging them makes the perils of the journey worth while
and its nice to slip back into those memories just for a while and be cosseted and safe as u were in childhood,
we lit candles when i took the boys to church to honor my parents and his and those that have gone before, the boys were quite excited and want to go again, in those few minutes i could feel the love they left surrounding us as we sat and admired the beauty of peace and tranquility
i do hope u get to see them on xmas day
as always loving thoughts and positive vibes

Thanks domestic. I am keeping a watch on the weather. It is looking more and more like we will get snow on Christmas Day. It's an hour and a half drive to see our mothers. If we are going to be having bad weather, I prefer to stay at home. We may decide to go visit them Christmas Eve instead. We'll see what happens as the time gets closer.

Hi domestic, I had a wonderful Christmas Day! We visited both our moms who live out of town. My mother in law had her family gathering at her house for lunch yesterday. My mom and my oldest nephew came over and joined in. My husband, our 3 daughters and I were busy running around helping our mother in law with getting everything ready, with handing out presents to everyone and then with the clean up afterwards. We had lots of fun. I was tired afterwards but it was a good tired. It started snowing a couple hours after we got home yesterday and has snowed all through the night. We have at least 6-8 inches of snow on the ground where I live - could be more than that. I haven't gone outside yet and checked. This is a big event for us in Central and Eastern North Carolina. Snow is still falling. It is beautiful outside. By the end of the week, they say we will be in the 60's. That will be the highest temp for us in well over a month. We all might go outside on that day and lay out in the sun. LOL Just kidding. We might put on shorts though. LOL
