Christmas Day Festivities

Our morning consisted of delicious Butter Brain pastries (my sister-in-law's business), coffee, and fruit. Then we opened gifts which we are able to do in an orderly, adult fashion. It was so interesting to see everyone's interests, tastes and personalities in the gifts. Chad got tons of fishing relating items. Jen was delighted with a cute, trendy bag that we thought matched her new hairstyle. Kirk got a warm jacket and clothes related to staying warm. In our game the night before there was a question "What is your addiction?" Kirk said his addiction is "staying warm." We laughed so hard at his answer. Brian received a "Yale" sweater to help him maintain his "scholarly" image. Kristy received a huge Shakespeare poster to display in her classroom. Very exciting!


The afternoon began with the delicious traditional turkey dinner with all of the fixings. After topping the dinner off with pie and coffee, we cleaned up. Then we headed to Positive Action for more activities. While at PosAct we played Wii, watched a tear-jerking movie The Ulitimate Gift and ate sandwiches.

That evening we returned home and Jen and Chad got packed up to leave early this morning. They are now on their way to the next leg of their journey -- a trip to Mexico. Kirk, Brian and I are staying around until Saturday. The fun continues! See my parent's blog for more pictures and details.
