Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas this holiday. Phil and I were here in MO on Christmas Eve and played games with the family and some friends of his parents. Early on Christmas Day (7am, those of you who know me know that that hour is illegal in my book), we came upstairs and opened presents before everyone left on their journeys. His parents, two brothers, and a couple of family friends went to Kansas City, while Phil and I went to Springfield, IL. We passed our scenic route exit and ended up just sticking to the highway instead and arrived about 2 in the afternoon. We didn't leave home til 9:45 or so. We met everyone at Aunt Ann's house and upon arrival I just in to help with the prep work in the kitchen, and Phil asked everyone how they got me to work in the kitchen. We opened presents about 3 hours before dinner. We had a salad bar followed by the main course of prime rib followed by desert of homemade cheesecake and bread pudding. Mmmm. It took a while for the prime rib so dinner was a little late about 7. After cleanup we went to Grandpa's house and slept the night. Breakfast at 8am at Annie's house, then off for home. I had a really good time. Got to spend time with everyone, especially my dad and sister. How was your Christmas?
