We spent Christmas in Oklahoma with Alex's parents. Aunt Jane joined us for a couple days as well. We traveled there in a 2024 Honda Odyssey, which was a nice ride (although not much space for luggage). A few days before travel, we realized that our suburban wasn't going to make the long trip. We almost bought a minivan, but then we decided to do a one-way rental. We had to leave the dog with friends since we were short on space. We weren't sure how we were getting back, but we ended up buying a 2006 truck from Alex's parents.
We arrived on Christmas Eve, so our first day in OK was Christmas Day. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and potato casserole for dinner. We also had pie, sugar cookies, and M&M cookies. We leisurely woke up and did presents (no early morning present opening anymore). It was fun to watch Alex's mom open her presents, which happened to be goat-themed. We gave her goat Legos, a screaming goat, and a book of goat quotes. Weston got his Charmin toilet paper. There were plenty of Legos gifted - it's funny to watch Weston open them because he always gives the box a shake before opening. I think Nathan got a couple of the best presents. We got tickets for the OKC Thunder basketball game vs. the Clippers. I also gave him a book of his mission, which I had been putting together throughout his mission.
