December 25 - Merry Christmas!

OK, so it's taken me a ridiculously long time to blog about our Christmas celebration (today is actually January 18).

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. I think our gift opening last longer than the tour by the S.S. Minnow! Each present Katie unwrapped needed to be immediately opened and played with. I suppose I should appreciate and enjoy the leisure, because the "done in 15 minutes flat" years are certainly ahead of us!

We took a break in the gift-giving so I could make Daddy his favorite breakfast... biscuits and gravy! They turned out pretty darn good, if I say so myself!

The surprise gift of the day for me was... a newer, more fangled Keurig coffee maker! We now have the same fancy one my folks have... LOVE IT!!!!! I was ridiculously excited about it-- fortunately, I don't think Kevin captured that on video.

Grandma and Grandpa came over in the afternoon and we exchanged gifts from them. I got a toaster oven (woo hoo!) and a new crock pot cookbook and tons of other stuff. Reminds me-- I need to print out some pictures for Kevin's new photo albums!

It got to be so late in the day that I think we had to forego a nap for Katie (always a little dangerous)

We went over to Darren and Debbie's for a lovely Christmas dinner. I'm always so grateful for a dinner invitation from them. They are wonderful cooks and excellent company (of course they are, they're family!) They made us Paella. What a labor of love!
