Merry Christmas from the Bayou. You can see one of the gifts my children gave me yesterday, the Jim Tressel sweater vest. I had a very Ohio State Christmas. The kids seemed to like everything Santa left for them. They were up by 7:15 and opened gifts at home before heading to Nana and Papa's. It took nearly 2 hours to open the gifts there. We had 19 in the living room, plus gifts for 19. We did slow down this year and watched everyone open their gift before someone else opened a gift. I loved taking some time opening gifts. J was so excited when it was his turn to open a gift.
We arrived at T's parents about 1:30. We had a quick snack before opening gifts. We let the kids open their gifts before the adults opened their gifts. Again, we had time to relax and enjoy opening the gifts. Afterwards, we had a big dinner. 'Tis the season to gain weight.
We journeyed out today to Target to return a duplicate gift and see about getting some Christmas decoration bargains. Also, we took K to pick out a couple of fish for his new fish tank Santa brought him. T saw one fish she really like, so we added him to the main tank.
Other than that, we stayed home and cleaned up from yesterday. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We sure did. We are blessed to have a wonderful families we can spend time with during the holidays.
