Christmas Christmas

The kids unloaded their stockings this morning. The Bad Bella Cat had a great time batting the kids' stocking treats all over the living room. We had banana bread for breakfast along with some of Don's special Holiday Blend coffee for Mom & Dad. There was still more Guitar Hero after we walked the dogs. We phoned the grandparents and wished them a "Merry Christmas". I talked with our neighbor Carol about our holiday plans for today while the kids rode bikes and skateboards. I e-mailed a few Christmas pictures out. All said, we had a fairly quiet Christmas morning at our house.
The corn casserole is baking, the shower salad is in the fridge, and the second round of chocolate bread is ready to be carried over to the Rodriguez home as we continue last night's Christmas celebration. (I tried to tell Ally's brother-in-law Brian the first round of chocolate bread was all his, but Ally's Dad objected to that idea. Bryan had to share with the rest of us. Good thing I made more than one!)We always have a great time together. It's a fun crowd that gathers to share wonderful food and even better company... We are very thankful for our relatives who all came in last weekend and for the "extended" family who continue the celebrations through Christmas Eve and Day.
