We had a great day yesterday. We got up and opened presents with my dad in the morning and that was a lot of fun. Don't have any other memories of that experience.
After that we got ready, had a little breakfast and headed up the hill to my cousin's house for presents and food.
It was a lot of fun to see the kids (my second cousins) open their presents...such excitement and zeal, ripping off the paper, squealing and then dropping it, still half-wrapped, to move on to the next one. They'll be discovering new things for weeks.
Dinner was awesome...fried turkey (much to Chris' excitement), mashed potatoes, broccoli, stuffing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs...I'm sure there was other stuff on the table, but I can't remember now.
I supplied the pies...my signature apple-cranberry-currant pie and then a peach pie...it was a new peach pie recipe and while the pie turned out okay, I won't be making that recipe again.
All in all it was a really good day. I enjoyed being able to spend the time with family...grandma is doing better than I expected (after falling and breaking her hip around Thanksgiving). I'm grateful for that.
Anyway, getting ready for breakfast...I can smell the bacon cooking...yummy! We'll be heading out tomorrow morning so we'll be making the rounds and seeing family again today.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed being with your families. We'll have plenty of pictures to post when we get back.

Hi Lora.
I'm glad to hear you, Chris and all the folks had a good time. By the way Margaret and I had a wonderful Christmas with the family and friends.
God given joy-there can be nothing else like it. God Bless you both.

p.s. Just finished watching 'The Apostle' with Robert Duval-great stuff.
Eddie,
So glad that you and Margaret had a good Christmas.
Thanks for your kind words and continued encouragement.
