Easily going back and reading the "books". Mom, Auntie June, myself, and my cousin Suzie have autograph books where we record Christmas eve meal and everyone signs. It also has where it was, what the weather was like and who lit the candles and blew them out. We have those books back to the twenties I believe.
We all also have candles that the oldest lights at the beginning of Christmas Eve supper and the youngest extinguishes it.
New jammies on Christmas Eve for Christmas pictures. And we still get up at the crack of dawn for presents. I LOVE watching everyone else open them.... I could care less what I get as long as everyone else is happy.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.
1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
