The new drapes Leroy gave me for the living room arrived on December 23.
Our family was here on December 24. All 28 of us still fit at the tables in the basement.
We were certainly gifted parents. Just one of these things would have been enough.
The grandchildren enjoyed their gifts too. This is Lauren and Kayla sharing theirs.
Justin and Kaden compare their (battery operated) hamsters.
The hot dog roast for supper was a new activity for Christmas (fueled by the branches that came down in the October snowstorm).
After supper the boys played Monopoly with the John Deere version of the game.
On Christmas Day we went to my sister Carol's house for supper with my siblings. My Canadian brother could not be with us but connected by phone during the party. We changed to an Easter dinner after Mom died in 1993 so it has been a long time since we were together for Christmas. We had a very nice visit and uplifting conversation. It was a lovely end to the Christmas weekend.
