K, sometime I worry when you disappear into the other room and it gets unusually quiet.
Well you did this last week and I went searching for you.
You had shut yourself in the utility room and were perfectly happy rooting around in our dry goods.
When I found you, you were holding a bag of Fritos up in the air like it was trophy.
It kind of was…
I so enjoy the little pitter-patter of feet when you run through the house. Usually, you are following H.
It’s perfect.
I love you.

I was back at it at work today.
It’s always a bit rough going back after the holiday break.
H and K, y’all didn’t have to go back to school though because mom is off until January.
In fact, y’all went to Seminole for the day to visit. The cousins from Midland were there too.
When you got home, I sat in the big chair and held you both as we watched TV.
And just before bed, y’all were pretending you were cats, just meowing all over the house.
I love you.
-Dad
It was a great Christmas Eve today.
We got donuts for breakfast and all sang Christmas songs around the table while we drank our coffee and milk.
Then we mostly played all morning, and ate at Rosas’s for lunch.
After lunch we even made it in time for a carriage ride at 1:00 when they opened.
Mom and I watched movies while you girls napped.
And then we just made it in time for the 4:30 Christmas Eve service.
For dinner, mom made us waffles – and I even made us bacon to go with it.
We watched Charlie Brown Christmas and then all started getting ready for bed.
Mom and I had intentions of staying up late and watching movies but we didn’t make it long we were so tired.
Mom went to sleep and I showered and read for a little bit before doing the same.
Happy Christmas Eve.
I love you.
-Dad
