A Christmas Party

We had our annual Christmas Afternoon Open House yesterday; my mother-in-law stayed down for the whole afternoon.  It was draining on her but I think she had a good time.  All the children had pictures taken with Santa Claus and my mother-in-law did too.  She enjoyed the sweet buffet and wasn't a bother.  It was nice to see her happy although, afterwards, she was tired out.  My husband was talking to his cousin about the matriarch's eyesight; she cannot see one thing in front of her but then she can pick a dime up off the floor--go figure.  It was a lovely afternoon.
