It is the day after Christmas and all through our house, ripped wrapping paper and empty boxes are all over the floor. The boys were all happy with what they received and the number of gifts was hard to believe. A robot for Chris, two footballs for Anton, and a new camera for Jean-Luc because he said the lost one was a fluke. Carla and I are happy that the boys were excited but we made them wait to open the rest of their gifts until the family was sighted. A long day of cooking and waiting for us and the boys. They wanted to get to their toys. Phone calls from the Aunts led us to believe they were coming soon but we still had to wait and see. A few hours later they all showed up but by then it was time for our dinner fun. Julie and Dave, Monica, Ana and Buddy, David and Kelly, Carla and I sat in the dining room. Jean-Luc, Anton, Chris, and Julie-Ana were at the kitchen table as the floor is easier to clean with the broom. Dinner went well and all was delicious. Then it was time for more gift opening joy. All of the boys wanted to get to the toys! Thank yous all around and "I could use that" followed as one by one the gifts were opened. Gift cards were giving and received. Coffee, coasters, kitchen towels, pillows with blankets, pocket knives, pictures, not PC speakers, some palm tree items, games, a laptop, a mouse, and too much other stuff to mention. After desserts and coffee or drinks of others choice, it was time for our guests to head to their homes as it was getting late. The day had been great.
Thanks to all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
