Christmas Day

The day didn't start out as early as I had thought it would. We were at Joe's house and the kids didn't get up until well after 7 a.m. It was fun to see the kids open their presents and see how excited they were for each and every gift. The best part of the morning came when Joe and Joy both gave each other a popcorn maker.

We went to my mom and dad's for brunch later that morning and spent time with the entire family (Dale's family excluded) eating, eating and eating and opening more presents.

After we let my mom's house we stopped by and visited Joyce and Kerry on the way home and made it home by 5 p.m. It was a busy weekend but we wouldn't have it any other way. The holidays are meant to be spent with family and that's exactly what we did.

As for Quent and I we bought a new camera as our present to ourselves.  We "unwrapped" it before all the festivities began!
