Brett arrived just before 2 a.m. this morning. He had decided to leave after work instead of waiting until today. Meg and I stayed up until he made it home and he spent quite a bit of the drive talking to Grandma and Grandpa. He said that he was tired and glad to be home. We all went to bed as soon as he unloaded his car.
Our second round of Christmas started at 1 p.m. It was fun to watch Brett open his gifts from everyone. He wasn't able to guess all of them as in years past. Part of the reason for that was that we gave him several items that weren't on his list. The other reason was that he sent me his list so long ago that he forgot a couple of the items. We each opened our gifts from Brett as well. I really appreciated my daily devotional and Meg loved her new puzzle. The Heinisch children also opened their grandparent gifts this afternoon. Candy and money were the shared themes and everyone appreciated the extra cash.
Doug made ham, scalloped potatoes, green been casserole, corn and biscuits for lunch. Everything was delicious, especially the English trifle for dessert. The rest of the day was spent playing Ticket to Ride, Wii and Brett's new Disney Geek Out Trivia game. It was a wonderful Christmas celebration with our entire family. The only disappointing part of the day was saying goodbye to Winston as the Lamles returned from their Christmas trip.
Lots of pictures of all the lovely Christmas time you all had together, even Winston. It would be difficult to say goodbye to him. Thank you for sharing your family's holiday!
