We have had an outstanding Christmas this year. The entire family was present last night at Mammaw and Pappaw's house. Well, I guess you could say that one of our "regulars" wasn't there. My great-aunt, Coy, who sometimes comes by on Christmas Eve wasn't there and we missed her. Her birthday is today, by the way. Happy Birthday, Aunt Coy! We love you! The boys had a blast passing out the gifts with my two youngest cousins. What melee! What glee! We were very fortunate, too, to have Pappaw there as he's had a very precarious year health-wise. He is doing great considering what major surgery he had earlier this year.
This morning we went to my aunt's house for her annual Christmas brunch. Almost everybody from last night was there this morning, too including a few extra friends whom we also consider to be family.
Tomorrow afternoon we are going to my dad's brother's house for a late lunch. We used to open gifts there, too, but since we have so many people involved now we've decided to forego the gift giving and just visit.
Right now we are enjoying our new Christmas toy. My brother and parents bought us a Wii with sports package and Santa brought the Rock Band 2 game. We are having a ton of fun so far with the whole thing. We have been very blessed this Christmas and are very thankful for all that we have and received.
