Our Christmas Day is not the typical Christmas, well maybe it is for some.
We enjoyed an awesome morning of presents from mom and Larry. The tree, or what you could see of it, looked awesome surrounded by presents! The kids were tired, but excited. Afterwards, we ate some traditional 'one pan' breakfast. Yum!! I hate rushing out of my moms house and off to do other events, but we all had to leave. I appreciate the time we get to spend with my family.
Josh and I ran home to unload our gifts and load up some more to take up north. We showered, packed, cleaned, and got the house and dogs ready for our sitter. Thanks Jordan! :). We even power napped.
Our drive up north was uneventful, besides our two restroom stops. Usually we don't stop, but we did twice today. I guess our old bladders are getting smaller. Ha! It's amazing who and what you see in a gas station on Christmas Day. I'm pretty sure the non-America working the first stop didn't celebrate Jesus' birth so he might not have respected or appreciated my "Merry Christmas!" as we left. Ha!
We arrived at Josh's Aunt and Uncles house at 5pm for dinner. It was good. Very good. We did our annual gift exchanged too. Fun stuff.
Then on to Erin's house where we opened gifts and chatted with us six. It was a lot of fun to catch up.
Now after a 17 hour day including a 3 hour car ride, I'm off to bed. Night. I hope everyone's day was as eventful as ours. Today I am thankful for Christmas! In so blessed to have great family in my life.
