We drove on Christmas Day to the Gigi and Bumpa's. Nicole, Dale and Olivia were there alreay. Gigi and Bumpa had recovered from the flu, but since Suzanne had it, our family Christmas dinner was postponed. That was okay, the kids got to have some one on one time with little Miss Olivia. They all had fun playing.
The next day, we went over to the Thompson's for our family Christmas. The kids all got to open up their Christmas gifts and they were pretty excited about it. It was kind of crazy actually. Alex got more cars and Elizabeth got Elina, the Barbie doll from Fairytopia/Mermadia stories. Elizabeth had a ball playing with Ally and Anna. You can see the two girls in their Chinese dresses. Suzanne and I got hats made by Gigi. You can see the picture of Suzanne's.
You can see from the pictures, there was a little bit of snow. Not much though. The kids never really got to play in it.
The adults played cards and got to exchange gifts that way. The most popular gift was the Poker bucket. It had poker chips, cards, beef jerkey, and alcohol. We passed on that one and took the McDonalds gift card and the lottery tickets. Didn't hit it big - $8!!
It was a lot of fun to be with everyone. Unfortunately, Steve, Kim, Nathan, and Sarah weren't there. They traveled to Michigan at Thanksgiving and were spending xmas in Minnesota. We did get to talk with them on the phone and that was nice.
The next day, Olivia got flu :(
