The plan for Christmas 2009: simplicity in the gift department and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa. What actually happened:We spent Christmas Eve with friends, sharing their yummy Christmas dinner. Then we came home and sent the kids to bed. After that, Mom & Dad worked hard setting up the tree and setting out the loot, which was quite a bit more than expected thanks to a world full of Santas. Behold the finished product . . .
And, the Muffins appreciated it. Here are Curtis and Amanda posing for a picture; Jared was busy investigating a present elsewhere.
Here's Amanda . . . or rather one of her favorite presents . . .
Jared hard at work unwrapping . . .
And Curtis trying his hand . . . or rather mouth . . . at unwrapping things, too.
Sometime before we finished unwrapping everything, Grandma and Grandpa called with bad news: they'd been snowed out of their intended visit. We were disappointed, but determined to make the best of it. So, we called up our friends and asked if they'd like to come to our place for another Christmas dinner. They came and we all finished the day happy.
