Well it was a good Xmas.

W was fully present and much like herself during the present opening. Lots of real smiles, even one for me, she seemed happy.

She had to take a couple breaks, but overall so much better than the two previous holiday seasons.

She cleaned the kitchen for me so I could cook, asked me to help her by keeping the laundry she started going, been quite a while since she asked me to work with her.

I made a nice, simple, ham dinner.

The kids loved their presents and the meal, just a nice, good day.

I am thankful.
