Dec. 25th, 2009 06:02 pmDay 25 of 30... supposed to describe the day in detail. Not going into *that* much detail.
We got up about 10 and made breakfast. Ryan did the bacon and i did the eggs, everyone was on their own for toast :) Waited for my sister and Rick to arrive to start opening and i think we must have opened for 2 hours nearly. Well after all there were 7 of us and we each took a turn opening a gift. All gifts were very well received and appreciated. I got an external hard drive, a slow cooker, some Lush goodness, a Chapters gift card (Mom and i are going together as she had one too!), a lovely "kitchen" angel with a teapot from my best friend, a lovely travel journal, a little book of English country churches, a framed photo of my three lovely nephews/niece.
Dinner was a combined effort. Mom had already done the veg ahead of time, Staci did the dressing for the turkey, Laurie did the gravy, i peeled spuds, Justin made the dessert, a red velvet cake with butter icing. Nom! I'm so full!
We're having a rest now and later on Mom and i will visit my auntie, a traditional visit every year on Christmas night.
As always, a very nice day and behing surrounded by family makes it that much better.
Happy seasonal greetings to everyone reading this, if you celebrate, and if you don't, then i wish you all the best for a really good 2010.
