After we opened Santa presents in the morning we headed over to Brett's parents and opened all of our gifts with them. It ended up being a big handmade gift day. Kami crochet Mom and I blankets and I made Kami a quilt. (more on that here)
Gwenie got a lot more of her Dee Dee. She was really happy.
Gwenie loves to read. Luckily Aunt Kami likes to read too.
Mom got us cookbooks and I realized that this is my first one. I just have a collection of recipes from people. I find that alittle funny that I have never owned one.
Kami scored with giving Gwenie everything Backyardigans. She wanted to carry them everywhere with her.
I scored too.
Our traditional Christmas day picture at his parents. We always end up on this couch with a picture of us for some reason.
The only game I can get Brett's family to play is this one. So now it is a tradition. Let me add that Brett likes to block so watch out!
We enjoyed a great fire because it rained all day. Poor Gwenie just wanted to go outside.
We had one mishap though. Dad totally burned his hand picking up a pan lid off the stove thinking that the oven was off and the lid would not be hot. Poor Dad.
We had a great day and we all made out like bandits. I am so happy that Brett is off of work until Jan. 5th. It has been a long time since he took vacation (since March) and we are going to go to Disneyland and see as many movies as possible. I can't wait.
