Opening Gifts and Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Mark's House


As if Christmas at home wasn't enough, we had Christmas across town at the grandparents' house, too. Those present besides our clan: Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Mark, GG, GG's friend Hazel, Uncle Joe, Aunt Gina and Aunt Gina's sister Katie. It was quote loud and disorderly when it came to the gift opening. I remember Mom and Dad making Joe and I wait gift by gift, taking turns to spread Christmas out as long as possible. Apparently they have gotten more lenient in their "old" age because gifts were being opened with abandon. One quite humorous gift came from GG. Both boys got T-shirts from Potatobug.com, in honor of our late, great "scropion" who came to visit. (If you missed this story, scroll down ... it was quite an event for us!) Christmas dinner is at 5:30 p.m. and then the Guthries will be heading home to finish packing for tomorrow's flight to Illinois. Merry Christmas everyone!

Jessica---I just LOVED reading everything about the boys and Christmas. (Those t-shirts were hysterical!!) I hope you have a great time on your trip and remember, don't forget to send pics of Xan with his haircut. Please kiss the kids for me and have a great rest of the night. Merry Christmas. Miss Gail :)
