We didn't get to have our cousin over yesterday for supper after all, for my mom woke up in the morning with a stomach virus. :o( Poor thing! But thankfully, the virus only lasted her yesterday and she felt all better by this morning. So she wasn't feeling badly for very long ... and we got to have our cousin over for chicken pot pie tonight.

And last night I did still get to visit with my cousin and watch The Santa Clause II, which was a cute movie and quite clean, too!

My dad and I went earlier today to visit some dear friends and supporters of mine who now live out on a farm. We also got to meet their daughter and young grandson! And then tonight when our cousin came over, we had our chicken pot pie (yum!!!) and exchanged Christmas gifts. We had a nice time.

Oh, and we also watched A Christmas Carol. There was this one part toward the end that my mom and I got the biggest kick out of ... "Scrooge", played by Patrick Stewart from Star Trek, is at a church singing, but he totally doesn't know the words of the song. So this kind gentleman sitting next to him leans over and lets him share his songbook. Well, after just one really quick glance down at the songbook, "Scrooge" suddenly seems to know all the words of the song and is looking up, grinning, and totally singing along. It was too funny! We got the biggest laugh out of that. :o)
