Usually my family gets together on Christmas day. This year we got together the day after Christmas. We got up and went on over to my mom's house. We had brunch together. Then when Lindsey and her family arrived we were able to open the gifts Santa brought to grandma's house.
The kids got lots of fun gifts from Santa; remote control cars, dinosaurs, army men, Leapster games, and much more. Santa was also good to Reuben and I. We got a new grill!!! Santa also gave me a beautiful bracelet from Iraq and Reuben got a couple of knives. Of course Santa is always very generous.
Later that afternoon the rest of the extended family arrived. First Great-grandma and Great-grandpa Baur then Barb, Barry, Jameel, Sara and Nick (Sara's boyfriend). It was wonderful seeing everyone. We exchanged gifts with Great-grandma/pa. They are always so generous. We are very grateful for them and their generosity.
Then the feast began. We had a delicious dinner mom prepared. Once we were all filled up, we spent the evening talking and playing cards. The children were well behaved and enjoyed playing together. It was a wonderful evening spending time with the whole family.
