After a short nap...well, it was short for some of us, others required a little "convincing" to get up and make the time change adjustment, we had Christmas breakfast and then Karen and Carole enjoyed a walk around the neighborhood.
Although we didn't do any Christmas gifts because getting/being here was our "present" there still seemed to be a lot of non-Christmas gifts to unwrap, hmmmm. Several cute maternity outfits and lots of adorable baby goodies were a lot of fun to open and ooo and ahh over. We also got numerous gift cards for Lowes and Home Depot, so I guess when we get home it is back to work!The house we've rented with Brandon's extended family is very nice, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a nice big living area with a huge TV that is currently being used for some Wii MarioKart action. Brandon also got Mario Brothers from Melissa for Christmas, so that has already been getting a bit of a workout, too. Carole has found she is at a distinct disadvantage since she was not allowed to play videogames as a child!
We did get in the pool for probably an hour this afternoon, just floated and talked and enjoyed eachother's company. It was very nice, and how often do you get a family Christmas photo in the pool? We rounded out the day with a fantastic Christmas dinner with all the delicious trimmings, and Carole ate way too much. Now about 1/2 of us are headed to bed and the other 1/2 are still Wii-ing...hmmm, that sounds like they are all in the bathroom....
