We had a wonderful Christmas! And a bonus, totally unexpected white Christmas. The weather predictions said snow flurries. I think the “flurries” ended at about three or four inches. We all loved it!
Traditional Christmas Eve at Deedie and Bruce’s house. Oh, except for the fact there was not a fifth wheel in the driveway at their house. A few nights before it caught fire and burned up. They were really lucky as this happened in the middle of the night and Deedie just happened to wake up and see the flames shooting out. The fire department thinks it started in the electric box. So glad it did not lick the house and catch it on fire!

And Christmas continued. As usual, lots of presents, lots of food, lots of fun. All the kids make it so much more special. They have gotten to the point of sitting down, eating, then screaming “Let’s open presents!!”.
Ricky organized a game for the kids to keep them occupied. Pass the orange and where ever it stopped, that person was out. They had fun and it kept them happy for a bit.
Then the presents got passed out and the opening began.

The joy when they opened up the PS3. Yep, happy boys.

From the mess that was left, I would say it was a good Christmas.
Christmas Day we did not have the kids but it was a great day. Molly, Raylan, Sarah, John, and Lauren; Cynthia; Ross and I; Kathleen, Mike, Zachary, and Zane. Great food – again! – and wonderful visiting.
