Well, it is here and gone, thankfully. Trudy and I kept the kids up late on Christmas Eve to avoid that 4am wake up call that Santa had come. It worked. We didn't get out of bed until 7:30. The kids had their Santa gifts to play with, and had entirely emptied their stockings (all over the family room floor). I had to drive into Portland to pick-up Trudy's parents as the roads were still too bad for them to drive in, and their cars were still buried. We got home and the kids commenced to opening the rest of the presents. Trudy's parents decided to bring Moses, Jeff's (Trudy's brother) dog for Christmas. He located the scent of Trouble our cat and ran upstairs to investigate. We later found Trouble hiding in Taylors closet. All in all it was a good Christmas.
Travis got the X-Box 360 and guitar he was was really wanting. Tyler got a remote control dirt bike and Taylor had asked Santa for a goldfish, but got the fish tank with $5 for a fish instead. For the first time in 13 Christmas's I didn't have to spend a whole day putting stuff together. The only issue was Tylers lazer tag weapons that were so securely packaged a tornado couldn't have ripped them free from the box.
We had a nice dinner and relaxed for the afternoon, then I took Dave and Faye back home.
Here are a few pics, with some snow added to them.
