Dec. 25th at the Penlands

My brother, Tommy and my sister-in-law Carre flew in from the US on Christmas Eve so we decided not to have a big dinner on Christmas day but to take it a little easier. We started off with a "brunch" and then ended the day with a dinner of lasagna and salad. All of which was delicious thanks to my mom! In between our two meals the kids had some time to play with their new toys and show each other what they had gotten.

Kacy is thoroughly enthralled with board games. She got Monopoly Jr., Scrabble Jr., and Checkers. We play them all regularly.

In the middle we opened presents. The kids were patient while granddaddy read them the Christmas story and prayed with them. However, then it was time for gifts and they were excited. We all pretty much decided that we should have gotten our kids anything because Grandma and Granddaddy way outdid themselves.

Sara got a Minnie Mouse that was almost as big as her, I was very excited that I got to sleep with Minnie Mouse the other night!
