This starts Christmas Eve, going to my in law's house at lunch. We wonderful food cooked by Nana (my mother in law), then we sat around chatted and played with Michael. We then started opening our gifts. Christmas at Nana and Papa's house always looks like Santa came early. lol. They spoil all of us. : ) Michael (our nephew, Elly and Doug's son) is a year old. He loved being able to open presents and loved seeing what he got. After Nana's went home and but away our presents, and then got ready for Christmas eve service at church. The service was great.
We then came home and got ready for Santa's arrival. (Christmas morn) Dalton woke me up around 5:30 am. He had been up since 5 am, and when Savannah woke up, he then came to wake me up. The Santa gifts are wrapped, so he sat there in the living room watching TV, with the gifts sitting there. I surprised. I went ahead and got up, and got my coffee made. After Deon getting up, they started opening those gifts. We then opened gifts from under the tree from us. After all said and done, it all took approx 30 mins. LOL It was all a flash.
After the kids playing with the new things, we then started getting ready to go to Deon's grandmother's house for lunch. Also, had to pack me and the kids (which most of it was packed) to go to FL the next day. I twas nice be at grandma's, and the food was good as always. : ) We stayed there for a few hours, chatted and opened gifts. We then had to leave to head to Nashville, to my sister's house for Christmas with her family and mom and dad. We were wondering if we were even going to be able to go because of snow that was in the forecast on Christmas. We did not get that much snow and none of it was on the roads. But the closer we got to Nashville, the more snow you saw. I knew they were calling for more snow than what we had, but my sister told it was also no on their roads. We got there and it was still snowing, and it was suppose to snow most of the night. I was just glad we got there safely. We had a good time, chatting, eating and opening gifts. That is all I did in the past two days, lol, eat and open gifts, but it was great being able to spend time with family. My kids and nephew and niece love getting together, they get along so well, and always have a good time we they are together.
We got up the next morning to get ready to leave, and looked out the window and there was snow on the drive way and a little on the road. My sister's drive way is very steep, they had bought some salt in case this happened, so Deon got out there and salted their drive way, which helped a lot. Deon was not going to be able to go to FL with us this year. So, we packed up the cars and headed out to FL, and Deon headed home. The roads were too bad, as long as you took it slow. I 40 and I 65 was cleared in Nashville, but when you left Nashville the roads had spots of snow and a little ice on them. Not fun at all.
Stayed tune to my next blog on my trip to Florida. : )
