It's been a while since I've written anything. We had a good Christmas. We drove to Amy's house on Christmas Eve and met all the family there. On the way up we were able to stop off in Fairview Heights and do some mission shoppping. We found shoes, pants and ties. Aaron's big shoes size and long pant length are hard to find where we live, so we were happy to get what we wanted.

Amy, Mike and Zach were gone during the evening on Christmas Eve so we exchanged gifts before they left and then the rest of us stayed at their house and partied without them. Oh, my. We ate so many snacks! Everybody brought something.

On Christmas Day we stayed at Amy's until around 10:00 and watched Zach open his gifts from Mom & Dad. Then we drove up to Laura's. Mike, Laura and family joined us there. This was rather impromptu, so we really appreciate Laura putting together a good lunch for us all.

We drove over to David (Alan's brother in St. Louis) and Wanda's for dinner. We always enjoy seeing them. Wanda cooked a really good meal and I discovered that I really do like sweet potatoes when they are baked whole in the oven. And all these years I thought I didn't like them!
