Christmas is over in just over an hour. I had my concerns about how things would be today, and I must say, it was really a fabulous day. The kids really enjoyed opening their gifts this morning, and so did the adults. Just after noon we headed north to my mom's house, and we were surprised by a visit with two of my cousins and their four kids. It was the BEST Christmas present! I loved seeing them and that my kids got to see their kids. It was truly special, and I am so, so grateful they came over today. My sister was even in a very good mood. After exchanging gifts with my mom, we came home and watched a movie together. It was truly a very lovely day.
The fun actually began last evening. Jen and I had a lot of fun driving to Indy to retrieve their oldest, and then we had an absolutely wonderful time sharing dinner with their family. I am so incredibly grateful for their friendships. We love them so much and they are a blessing to our family!
I know today was probably a little rough for my mother-in-law, but I think we've kept her fairly busy. I know that we've had her laughing and she appreciated being with us. It's been a truly lovely holiday. Merry Christmas!
