We are soon headed out to my sister's house. We will exchange gifts with my sister, mother, & grandmother, and then some aunts, uncles, cousins (& possibly family friends) will join us for a meal, and then some others will join for a visit even later. I'm looking forward to this and visiting. I'm just hoping everyone in the family can check their attitudes at the door...we aren't always good at that.
We had a nice morning. I enjoyed that Robert was actually the first one awake. He was able to visit with his girlfriend and her family last evening and then he came home and helped Andrew wrap gifts for me after we did the gifts from out-of-town. I really wanted a trash can, and Andrew was annoyed I wanted something so practical. He decided to throw me off the trail by wrapping it in light up garland and bringing in the extension cord last night to plug it in. I was surprised and thrilled this morning. The kids also enjoyed their gifts, and I was so pleased that they enjoyed even the little things because that is mostly what they received this year. I love how Thomas was still so surprised and shocked that Santa knew exactly what he wanted. Andrew fried up some mush and made diced potatoes, and mostly we just hung out.
I'm so grateful for this day, and for the time we are together!
