We got together for dinner, so we had most of the day to prepare food. Christian still had to work and the kids had their last day of school right before Christmas (which was totally insane). Christian started some bread before heading off to work in the morning. We planned to serve some of our dry cured meat with crusty bread and herb infused olive oil. We also made some desserts and a side dish to bring over.
All the kids are getting so ridiculously big now. Both of Wendy's kids are currently in college. For a while, all the yearly Christmas pictures had her boys towering over all the other kids but the rest of the varmits are starting to shoot up.
The kids spend most of the time playing together. Luckily, they all pretty much get along. The adults spend most of the time finishing preparing food and chatting. At the end of the evening, we open presents and have dessert.
The girls got red envelopes from from my mom, art supplies from Uncle Norman and from Aunt Wendy, Caitlyn got a ukulele and a big warm jacket for Emily. Caitlyn had been trying to teach herself to play the ukulele from youtube videos with the little play ukulele that a coworker brought back for me from her honeymoon in Hawaii. It plays okay actually, but it doesn't keep it's tune for very long.
