Christmas Day

Christmas Day turned out to be much more relaxed than previous years. Since we had gotten a headstart on the meal, the cooking part of the day was pretty easy. The big crowd of family that we were expecting quickly dwindled when several family members got the stomach bug that was going around. It ended up just being us, Gram and Grandad, Aunt Jan, and Great Grandma. Paul was happy that he didn't have to drag out more table and chairs, and that we had so many leftovers! :) After dinner, Paul and the kids played with their new toys and Preston had a little BB gun target practice. I spent most of my post-dinner time laying on the couch waiting for the excessive amounts of food to digest!
