Happy Day-After-Christmas!

The past two days have been crazy-busy. Here's the update:

Wednesday daytime: Make cookies, clean house. Take cookies around to neighbors and wish them Merry Christmas.

Wednesday evening: Dinner at the in-laws. The first time the whole family has been together in a while. We ate and watched the boys open their presents. Uncle Joe had to get all of the toys out of the packaging - poor guy! Then we played 31, which I won, so I split my winnings between the two boys. $2.50 is a lot of money for a baby!

Thursday morning: Got up and went to Mom and Dad's for breakfast. Ricky insisted on taking the car, against my better judgement, and got it stuck in the slush about 100 yards (if that) from our house. Oops. We parked the car on the side of the road and took the truck instead. Opened packages with Mom and Dad, then ate breakfast, called the Grandma's, and hung out. I won $2 on my scratch it ticket, woohoo!

Thursday afternoon/evening: Went to Ricky's aunt's house with the rest of the extended family. Mostly hung out with Ricky's cousin and his wife, to whom we're very close but who moved to Medford. We used to hang out with them all the time but now that their 5 hours away we only see them a couple of times a year. Played 31 again and my mother in law won.

All in all it was a fantastic holiday, with lots of wonderful time spent with family. Now we're getting ready for Grandma to come visit for a week on Sunday!!
