Family Christmas

We held our family Christmas on Saturday and it was even more fun than I anticipated! JD and Janel participated through Facetime and it was great to have them "there". Seeing the three grandkids together was so cool. This year they were all really excited about their presents and interacted well with each other. They're started to "talk" to each other which is so fun.

Today is Christmas Eve and Dan is working this morning. Later today we're headed over to John and Roberta's house (Gabe's parents) for dinner and White Elephant gift exchange. Then we'll come home to open our presents. After that we're going to watch "A Christmas Story" and play A Christmas Story Monopoly. Merry Christmas!
