Merry Christmas part 2!

I celebrated Christmas for the second time today here in Kentucky with Chuck's family. It's been a long time since I've been around little kids on Christmas--ok it's been since I was a little kid I think--and I forgot how incredibly fun and exciting opening presents is. Chuck and I were woken up at 7 this morning by three very excited kids proclaiming that it was Christmas! We waited a couple hours though for Chuck's parents to arrive from their hotel and for all of us to eat breakfast--they were incredibly patient waiters though!

Last night Rodd read us the Christmas storyBright and early this morning Helen and Diana were sorting presents into piles of recipients. Hooray! We can finally start opening!Movies from Chuck's brother TeddyAll Diana wanted was Littlest Petshop figures, she got a lot of Littlest Pet Shop stuff!I was pretty excited, Carroll got me two things off my registry as a Christmas gift--our first wedding presents! (A cutting board and a pack of 3 wooden trivets) Chuck's reaction was "I don't remember registering for trivets." That might be because I did that online later...Me checking to see if Bed Bath and Beyond got our items taken off the registry. I'm not sure what Chuck is doing.Carroll and I chatting yesterday afternoon (I swiped this from his dad's camera--hence the out of order posting)After presents I was needing a little fresh air and quiet, so Chuck and I took a walk. They live out in the country which was absolutely beautiful! It was such a peaceful walk!Then when we got back I played Littlest Pet Shop with Diana for a VERY long time. We had a whole camp set up. We then loaded them into a box (the car) and took them to the beach (the bathroom) and let them go swimming in the sink.
