As I mentioned in the previous post, we hosted the Sanders' for Christmas this year. This is the first Christmas that we've had the opportunity to spend with Brian's family, so it was really special. The kids woke us up on Christmas morning so that we could see all of the wonderful gifts that Santa had delivered. They received several new clothing items and a programmable robot. Since Christmas fell on Sunday, we got dressed and attended the Sunday morning service. Afterward, we returned to the house to prepare the lunch. Since I knew there would be a short turn-around time between church and lunch, I ordered part of the meal from Walls and cooked the other half. I thought it turned out pretty well.
After lunch we opened gifts. We all received so many wonderful things. I "went rogue" on a couple of gifts this year, but they were all well received.
One of the "rogue" gifts was a bicycle for Brian. He didn't ask for this, but he likes to ride the bike around the neighborhood with the kids so now he will be riding in style and comfort.
The kids both received laptops from their daddy and I. They have been using my laptop a lot this year to do various projects for school, so now they have a place of their own where they can do and store their work.
We spent the whole day at the house eating, chatting, and playing basketball. It was a great day.
