We had a great, but utterly exhausting day! We woke the girls up at 7 and did Christmas here (toys, videos, books, etc for them; Melting Pot GC, Wii games, books, Pandora birthstone charm, board games, etc for me; Wii games, tie chain, CDs & DVDs, Photo frame, etc for Kyle). By about 9:15 we were at my parents' for brunch, and visiting with the extended family. Lots of baked goods, cash and restaurant gift certificates

We chatted with our family around the world in the afternoon, then came back here to start cooking.
As we were picking up and cooking, a friend/colleague of Kyle's who couldn't make it home for Christmas

visited for a couple of hours and brought gifts, then my immediate family came around 5:30. We ate entirely too much, played some games, and they just left. We got so much more loot I don't even know where to put it

Lots more board games and a video game each (can you tell where our interests lie?

), some Christmas decor, etc and - of course - more toys for the girls. They are just now starting to play with all the things we got before they were born! I think a lot of this stuff won't be opened right away

They were much more interested than we expected, though, in everything they opened -- it was a lot of fun!
I'm glad it sounds like Christmases overall were a hit

:
Keep your fingers crossed that Kyle doesn't get called in tomorrow so we can all relax a bit, before the inlaws invade on Saturday for the rest of Christmas

(I can't complain, we usually get spoiled even more.... (wow, i'm pretty sure none of us should ever really complain about much

))
Have a great night! I hope you all had great time, or are still enjoying time with your families!
I don't think I'm going out tomorrow, for the first Dec 26th I can remember. I just don't need any Christmas decor, wrapping paper, HDTVs ....
I can't wait to see more pictures! Goodnight..
