Christmas Part 2

Each year I go to my Dad's on the 23rd to celebrate Christmas Eve with him and then open presents Christmas Eve morning. I don't have any pictures to share but still wanted to document the memories.

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.
