Yesterday (New Year's Eve" we celebrated Christmas with the Nelson side of the family. We got packed up and then headed out to the farm at around 11:00 am. After we got to Jim and Barb's house, we unpacked, got the gifts under the tree and the stockings stuffed, and then we got ready for dinner. Jeffrey and Samantha arrived, and then we all ate some French Dip sandwiches, fries, broccoli salad, and oodles and oddles of snacks. It was good.
After cleanup, it was finally present time. The kids got some really goof gifts including legos, robotics, watercolors, and other odds and ends. They were very happy. Everyone enjoyed the process of opening gifts, and then the kids got busy building legos and robots. After a while, we played a couple games and enjoyed each other's company.
Supper consisted of snackies and then we finished the evening with a round of spoons. The kids ended up spending the night just because Jim and Barb wanted them too. It was a nice, low-key Christmas gathering. I think we are all officially over the Christmas celebrations and ready to just get back to a normal routine again.
Shortly, John and I are heading out (into -6 degree weather) to go and pick up the kids. I'm ready to have them home again and enjoy a quiet evening before we get one more day off tomorrow, and then it's back to reality.
