My sister had to work Christmas Eve morning, so we waited until noon when she got home to open gifts. Each of us kids exchanged the gifts we bought one another. I got Stephanie a tanning gift certificate (she didn't open it until Christmas since it was at my Mom's house). I got Dylan a new watch. I got my dad a stylus for his iPad, a UofM grilling spatula, and a home made calendar full of pictures of our pup who passed away over summer (it still had yet to arrive). I got my step-mom 2 glass cutting boards and a candle.
I was showered with love Christmas Eve morning. I received everything I asked for and more.
After we finished opening gifts we had a delicious brunch. We had "Carol's Christmas Morning Delight" which is a creation we came up with a few years back. It's simply an egg bake (I'll share the recipe another day). We also had a French Toast casserole-type dish.
The afternoon calmed down as we enjoyed each others company and began to get ready for get togethers later in the evening. Steph and I headed back to my Mom's to celebrate Christmas Eve with her.
Wesley enjoys when the tree comes out each year!
