It is determined that Maya's present of a trampoline is a success.

We eat a big lunch, featuring Mari's pinterest-worthy veggie tray. A group goes for an after lunch walk. Some of us loaf on the couch instead.

The group (minus Chris and the girls) head to the cemetery and church.

Callie's Christmas gift gets batteries. I begin to regret the choice of Christmas gift. Here's why.

We head back to the condo to open presents with Boom, Uncle John, Aunt Jenny, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craig, Auntie Mari and Josh. It was a pleasant experience, despite most of the expressions on faces in these pictures.

We had a Henderson/Johnson/Suurmeyer Party! Lots of great food, drink, and company.
We toasted my dad with his Scotch.
December 25th, 2015. 7:00pm
We headed home, got the girls to bed (late again), and are hoping that *maybe* they'll sleep in a little tomorrow after a long and busy couple of Christmas Days.
I'll leave you with the final few days of Elf on the Shelf nonsense.
We hope everyone had a holiday filled with peace, hope, and gratitude!
