Best Gifts

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
We had our family Christmas party today.  My parents, brother, sister-in-law and their family and our kids were here for breakfast this morning.  We had so much good food and it was fun being together.  There were 28 of us all together.  We took turns on Skype with our "far away family."   I think that they had a good time talking to everyone.

Around 1 o'clock, Camryn went for a nap.  Chloe and Cali went home, they only live 2 blocks away, for their nap.  Around 3 we opened our presents.  The kids were so excited and just tore into the paper.  I  loved watching them.  Camryn did  a good job for only being 18 months old.  Cali and Chloe's eyes were sparkling.  The boys tried to play it cool, but we know they enjoyed themselves.  Christmas is over for another year, whew!!  I'm sleepin' in tomorrow.
