Our Early Christmas

100_1752
Our Christmas was wonderful this year. We began, as is now becoming tradition, by getting together with our family here in Arizona for Christmas Eve dinner. This year, though, it was held on the 19th. After a delicious dinner, to which everyone contributed — excellent smokies, Lindsey! — we played our annual white elephant game. We play it so that each item can be stolen three times only and no more. As you can see, everyone is vulnerable.

It was a night of excellent food, good fun, beloved family, and perfect timing … because we planned to celebrate Christmas the next morning — almost a week early! Jealous? Alex was flying to California to be with her father and family. Rachel and Jeremy were spending Christmas day with their mother and family. So we opened presents December 20 in the morning. Know what Santa brought? Three guesses!

We hope that you had a wonderful, Christmas.
