It's a wonderful life

We just had a great Christmas.  Christmas Eve went went over to Lori's for dinner. She put on a great spread. and we had a lot of fun with Lindsey and Scarlett. After Christmas cookies and candy can pie for dessert we headed over to Hinsdale where Dan and Amy were attending a family party.  We were picking up Kyle Braden to take them to our house to go to bed.

We left out some stuff for Santa and his reindeer and then settled in for a long winter's nap. Dan and Amy came about 10:20 or so and helped carry all the gifts up to put around the tree. 

 

 

 

 

On Christmas morning we all got up and watched Kyle and Braden open their gifts from Santa and their parents.

When Keir and Lori arrived another round of present opening began in earnest.

It was a wonderful day and everybody had a great time.  Had a wonderful Christmas breakfast with the traditional coffee cake, egg casserole and chicken and apple sausages.  By the time we got that all cleaned up and all the gifts opened it was time for the little ones to take naps.

Later that afternoon Jill put on a scrumptious beef Wellington dinner.
