Kari’s family opened gifts at their house this morning and then joined Kathy, Annette, Ted, and me at our house after lunch.
Kari took a group picture before the unwrapping began.
Annette has apparently been waiting years to make waffles at home. Now she can do it.
The boys seemed very pleased with the gifts they received. Teddy added two pigs to his collection. Is it significant that both are piggy banks? The jar he’s holding is “pork and beans”–little stuffed pigs mixed with bean seeds.
Here’s Teddy with his Lego piggy bank. Who knew you could get a pig Lego set? When Ted and I saw it, we grabbed it.
Since he was a little kid with enough money to buy gifts, Thom and I have always exchanged a Christmas Lego figure with each other. This is the one I received from Thom this year. . .
. . . and the one I sent to Thom (on the right).
I took a group picture after the boys distributed the gifts.
After an early dinner, it was time for Kathy and Annette to leave for Kirksville so Annette could get some sleep before going back to work tomorrow. Our two-day Christmas holiday with our girls and their families was wonderful. We had time to visit and time to play. Family time is always good and always goes by too quickly. Until next time, merry Christmas and happy new year!
