Christmas Day dawned before we got up.  It was sunny but cold with a stiff breeze adding a little more chill.

Brandon and Vanessa were up before us.  As soon as we got our coffee they started passing out gifts.

Only the beginning

Vanessa liked her scooter even in the box

Can I help you with that, Dad?

Everyone got a lot of nice gifts.  It was such a pleasure to to see to see the happiness on their faces and hear the whoops of joy as the opened their gifts.  Some were things they wanted and others were surprises.

We really didn't do much although it seemed we were busy all day.  The kids played outside a lot with neighbors.  A little of the time a couple of neighbor children came inside to play with them.

Curt and Dana spent some time getting familiar with features of the new to them van.

For dinner Dana prepared a large turkey with mashed potatoes, green beans.  All served with cranberry sauce and rolls on the side.

We watched TV and caught up on computer stuff for the rest of the evening.  We watched a channel called TruTV that we hadn't heard of.  There was a funny magic show called the Carbonaro Effect that was very entertaining.  We plan to see if that is included in our package with Cox Cable at home.

We were all in bed by 11.
