Our Christmas morning started at 8:00 am. The boys haven't figured out that you can get up early on Christmas morning and get away with it. :) They were excited about each gift, even socks and underwear. :) I didn't think McKenna would even understand what was going on, but she gave out a squeal every once in a while. It was so fun watching the kids open their presents and sharing in their excitement. 
We opened presents as quickly as we could, since a major snow storm was supposed to hit that morning and we had planned to travel to my parents' house. The storm ended up arriving later that evening, so all that rushing for nothing. Oh well. We spent the rest of the weekend with my family in Centerville. Everyone was in town except my brother, Scott and his family. It wasn't the same without them.

My brother, Jeff, planned a game of Jeopardy for my sisters and parents. He came up with trivia questions about memories of our childhood. It was a lot of fun and gave us a good laugh.

First, wow, you got a picture of your parents! Second, I would have loved to experience that game of Jeff's--that sounds like so much fun. And finally, I am glad there has come a good alternative to stupid video games in the form of Wii and I can see us getting one one day to keep the boys from being nerdos. Hopefully they will come up with something even cooler by then :). And finally finally, good thing I didn't read these until now or I might have cried for missing everyone at Christmas!! You didn't think you'd be getting someone replying to your Christmas blogs on Valentine's day did you? ha ha
