Today is our last Christmas celebration of 2011! We hosted the Blodgett family at our house this year. First time having a gathering at our house. It was nice not to have to travel with the kids for a change, but we felt bad having everyone else have to travel to get here. Luckily the weather was good for everyone! Now they have all seen our not so new house anymore and see where we live.
We started out the day with some appetizers. Then we had a wonderful turkey and fixings for lunch (Ed was in charge and did great). Then we opened presents, which there were plenty again of course. After that came dessert and visiting before everyone headed home before dark.
Grace was in town for NYE and staying with her friend, so she stopped over to visit before eveyone headed out too. It was very nice to not have to worry about where the kids would sleep, or rush out to get the kids home for bed. I think we might take to liking hosting the holidays? We don't have much room for many more people though!
It was difficult for me to have or tree up this long! Usually we are taking the tree down the day after Christmas. That being said, it isn't surprising that we have it down before bedtime tonight!
