Melanie woke up and got right to the gift-opening. We decided that the fact that Joey wasn't up yet wasn't a deterrant. She got right to it, and seemed to love the gift-opening. Then Joey got up, and she opened all of HIS gifts. Then she opened (or tried to) all of the gifts for everyone the rest of the weekend. And that, my friends, is why Santa was very frugal with my kids this year. Apparently it's not about what's inside the gift, but just that there IS a gift. (the rest of the Christmas story will come later, that it's not really about the gift at all.....)
We went to Frankfort for Christmas day. We had a great time with my parents, and we also invited our next-door neighbors the Elams. Our family friends Marshall&Phoebe Smith were also there, and we had a great time!!! Matt, Julie, and Molly made it for dinner, which made Mel's day! We had a great Christmas dinner, all prepared seemingly effortlessly by Gigi!! Thank you Gigi &Poppy!! Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the kids with both of their grandparents. Instead I got several pictures of them with Tom, our next-door neighbor, which are cute too!
Melanie, several times throughout the day, would stop and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.
