Christmas Past

Christmas morning began cloudy and cold. But hey, at least we didn't have any of the white stuff to contend with!

We went to David's house for our traditional Christmas breakfast together. Yumm, he did a great job with scrambles eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. It was a nice beginning to a great day - thanks David.

Morgan arrived around 11 am and then the fun began. After all Christmas is about kids, right? Anyway, we exchanged some gifts at David's and Morgan got into all her "Santa" gifts. It was fun watching her open her gifts, she gets so excited about each one. In the past she has let out some really ear piercing squeals and she was told in advance this year to be a little more quiet. It was really funny when she opened her package that had a new cell phone in it! She almost squealed but covered her mouth quickly! But she couldn't contain her excitement.

Dean, Suze & I left to go to Suze's so we could start dinner. David and Morgan came over a short while later and we began again - exchanging gifts. One that Morgan got from her Pop-pop was a box filled with cotton balls and slips of paper with "I Don't Know" typed on them. The reason for this was every time we asked Morgan what she wanted for Christmas she would answer "I Don't Know". Well he was determined that is what she would get. He did include one slip that was exchangeable for some cash. She liked that one. We got David a new grill and since it was to big to put under the tree, he had to go on a hunt for it. We had lots of fun and laughs doing presents at Suze's.

The rest of the day was laid back and relaxing for the most part. We didn't have a set time for dinner and just took our time getting it ready. How nice that was, no time schedule. I think it also made it taste better. Maybe because we were not so exhausted from rushing to get it done.

In the evening, Shannon and Brooke came over and we exchanged gifts with them. Shannon is David's friend and Brooke is her daughter. Brooke is a year older than Morgan and they get along really good. I posted a picture of them sitting beside each other texting. Yep, they were texting each other - LOL! One way for the adults not to know what they were saying...

So that wraps up our Christmas Day. It was a really nice day. The only thing that would have made it better is if more of the family could have been with us.

I pray that all my family and friends had as nice a Christmas as I did. It's one I won't forgot.

This will most likely be my last post this year so I'll say Happy New Year to all and hope to see a lot of you next year.
