Around noon when all the presents were opened, Brynn was out the door. She was so anxious to get outside. As much as I wanted to snuggle up on the couch for a nap with the fire, I had to "mom up" and bundle up for the sake of family togetherness...it was Christmas Day after all! We had a blast... This was after an epic family snowball showdown. Paige says she won, but we all know dad won (because I let him. ;)). Back inside we prepped dinner and helped pack up Grandma and Grandpa. We had a yummy prime rib dinner before they drove off. The rest of the evening was pure family bliss: games, legos, food overload, Christmas movies with the fire on in our jammies. It's simply the best. Thank you, Costco, for the Creme Brulee goodness for dessert. I tried to simplify our meal and this was an excellent decision. It was a splendid and peaceful Christmas. It's sad when it's over!
