Christmas Day

I didn't realize it had been so long since I had posted, I guess that what happens when you are wrapped up in report cards and end of the semester work.  It is really hard to believe we are already in the second semester of the year, time is flying by. I will be working today, as this is one of our snow make-up days. I won't lie, I am a little sad that we don't get the day off, but I am glad that we are getting this make-up day out of the way. I know I will be thankful later if we get an extra day in the spring or at the end of the year when spring fever has set in.

I am finally getting around to posting about Christmas. We had a fun Christmas Day. My day always starts out slow, as I don't do anything that morning, we all meet at my grandma's house in the afternoon. I packed up food and gifts and headed down there. We dined on ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, and salad for lunch. After the dishes are all done (this was always torture as a child) we went in to exchange gifts. The kids were excited with all their gifts from family. While they were playing with their new toys, the rest of us opened up and enjoyed our gifts.  Later in the evening we always enjoy desserts and snacks.  We were all tired and ready for bed by the time the day was over.
