We woke at leisure. Had a lovely breakfast of eggs and sausage and toast and oranges.
Opened presents, just Mark and Amy and I, as our present to my parents was coming in the afternoon. Amy participated in opening most of her gifts. One gift was a top and pants, which she carried around the house for a long time, one piece in each hand. She also really liked her ride-on toy.
Amy’s morning nap was interrupted by a phone call, and she was unable to get back to sleep. She was a little cranky for the afternoon.
She got a good afternoon nap, though, and didn’t wake until quite a while after my brother and his family arrived.
There was more opening of presents, lots of semi-chaotic playing among Jeff and Carole’s little girls and our Amy, conversation among the adults, my parents, us, Jeff and Carole and Jeff’s son RJ, sister Tracy.
A wonderful dinner, without too much crankiness from the babies. And with horseradish sauce for the roast beef. Mmm… horseradish sauce.
Relaxing for some, playing for others, cookies for all but the babies, then good night to all and diapers in the wash.
A merry Christmas.
