Christmas morning was a blast. We opened up presents at my parents house, which I think was fun for them to see. And Neal and Scott were there too. Seth's big gifts were his huge train set and a scooter. We set up Seth's huge Thomas the train tracks and he was glued for hours playing with it. It was fun. (and because I'm writing this in January, I can tell you it has been the ultimate present for him. He spends hours every day with this train track. Its been so much fun for him.) It feels good when you know you got something they will love. Jaquelle mostly got dress ups and make believe stuff like fake food and baby accessories, but she was cute taking every gift over to show Grannie Annie and get her approval for. This really is a fun age for both of them for Christmas morning. They know how to rip off the paper so they dont take hours and yet they super excited even for what other people were getting. For instance, Jaquelle got some buzz lightyear art stuff and Seth excitedly said, "Jaquelle, maybe we can share that." :)
We ate a big breakfast together and then got to talk to Mark who's still in Hungary but gets home at the end of April! It was good to hear from him. Then the rest of the day was spent vegging and sleeping, and watching movies, playing risk, watching football. I love how lazy Christmas day is. It was so great just to be with family. I think that is what I would miss the most when we finally crack down and do our own Christmas at our house. Or maybe I could just bring them all down here for a change......make them truck all their christmas down to our house....hum...tbc on that one.
