We got up at 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. Dan was in bed, Melissa and John were at church. So we just surfed. It took until about 11 for everyone to be gathered around the kitchen table for breakfast.
After breakfast there was talk. Ellen and Melissa spent a lot of time preparing Christmas dinner. Isaac and Bella showed up a little after noon. There was more talking and then we started opening presents. That took quite awhile. There were a lot of presents.
After that it was more talk and some surfing. Isaac started playing online poker and of course everyone offered advice. Dinner was about 3. It was great - ham, potatoes, salad, and shrimp. Dessert was cookies, apple dumplings, and ice cream. It was quite a meal.
After dinner was several hours of sitting around the table talking. I think everyone had a good time. I called Hooch twice. The first time I talked to he and Mom while they were in the call. The second time they were opening presents. He was going to call back, but he didn't.
All in all it was a really successful Christmas.
