This was the first Christmas with my family where we weren't woken up before 9! It was wonderful. Okay well we did wake up nice and early to listen in to Brock's call home. It was so good to hear him talk about the experiences he is having in Zimbabwe.
It is fun having my siblings all grow up and not jumping on our beds at 6 in the AM to wake us all up. Hurray for sleeping in!
After opening presents we headed to church for an hour. Afterwards we got busy getting everything ready for Christmas dinner.
Kim had two friends from school come over for dinner and we also had the pleasure of having Rick and Rita over. We had a wonderful time talking and laughing over the delicious food.
Holly got a record player that does everything. So we enjoyed jammin to some Scott Joplin before sitting down to our Christmas feast.
After dinner we played some Nerts and a good round of movie charades.
For our evening snack we enjoyed our home made caramel. We tried the 'sweeten condensed milk in the crock pot submerged in water on low for 8 hours' method. It worked nicely.
It was a wonderful day full of good company, exciting gifts and lots of happy memories. Hope you were all able to have such an enjoyable Christmas as well.
Hope you have an excellent end to 2011!
