Nathan arrived home on December 20th. My parents arrived on December 23rd. By the time they arrived, it was raining and some of us were a little sick... We were all still pretty functional though. Some of us did caroling and treat deliveries in the rain on Christmas Eve. We also did our traditional candlelight Christmas singing and reading the Christmas story, with chocolate loaf cake for dessert.
We had a nice Christmas morning. With teenagers, there was no early rising, so we eventually opened presents and had cinnamon rolls, eggs, and bacon for brunch. We also got to chat with Jared. He was playing a board game.
We had potato casserole, green bean casserole, ham, rolls, and Martinelli's for dinner. My mom made cherry pie, which was delicious.
The day after Christmas, Mike, Carrie, Nick, and Ryan joined us for a couple days. We enjoyed hanging out on Friday evening. We sort of all did our own thing during the morning and afternoon on Saturday (walk, chocolate making, football game). I enjoyed watching BYU beat Georgia Tech in the Bowl Game. We all went out together on Saturday evening to wander around the harbor and then out to eat. We went to church together on Sunday morning. Mike and Carrie headed out after lunch. My parents left on Monday morning. We didn't get out much because of the rain, but I actually enjoyed hanging out at home. The boys enjoyed playing Pinochle with my parents. We also put together our new puzzle of us in the M&M shirts. We watched a couple of movies and also some old videos of the kids. We had ice cream, cookies, pie, and yummy food. Owen was supposed to be playing in a couple of basketball tournament games on Friday and Saturday, but I guess it was okay that he wasn't feeling well enough to play. That meant we all got to hang out together instead of going to BB games. He did play in the games on Monday and Tuesday, so Nathan got to drop my parents off at the airport. It was nice to see everyone and have Christmas guests at our home.
