Christmas was wonderful this year! My wife and I went up to visit my maternal grandparents on the 22nd. We had a great time! On Christmas eve, we always gather for a large meal and open our presents that night. So, we went over to my Aunt & Uncle’s house just down the road and had dinner there. In total, there were about 40 of my relatives there!
After the big celebration, we drove home that night and had a great Christmas service at our church on Christmas day. It was great to see all of our friends and family at church that morning.
Since Christmas fell on a Sunday this year, we all decided to wait until Monday to open our presents. So, on Monday morning we all woke up early and ran downstairs to tear into the gifts. We all got a lot of great things; some of the highlights were: my father-in-law getting an HDTV, Allan getting a new iPod, me getting 20 tokens for the local driving range, and my wife and I getting a pack-n-play for Caleb. We got a lot of great presents and ate a lot of great food, but the most fun was getting to see all of our family. Christmas was definitely a great success this year.
