The Day After Christmas

On the 26th, we traveled to Attica to spend Christmas with my Dad's side of the family. Nearly everyone was there, with the exception of my parents, Holly and her family, and Shelly as they are all, of course, in Alaska (Shelly had flown back for her holiday break from KU). My cousin Robyn and her family couldn't make it from Kentucky either (miss you Rob!). We still had a big crowd of more than 30, and had a great time eating, opening gifts, eating, playing outside (it was a pretty nice day, just a little windy), eating, playing cards, and eating. Did I mention eating? The peanut clusters, peanut brittle, peanut butter balls, cherry mash, cheeseball, and chex mix get me every time! Also during the afternoon, Paul took Preston out with his gun to the silhouette range across the creek from my grandparents' house to shoot a little. The kids were pretty worn out when we left that evening. Come to think of it, we all were! We had done a lot of "Christmas-ing" in a short amount of time! Whew!!
