Christmas at the Kelley's!

On Christmas Day we were at the Kelley's. We started with a nice Christmas breakfast. Greg's mom made a quiche, Terri made cinnamon rolls and knots, and the boys made french toast, bacon, sausage, etc...It was more food than I could handle. After we had our fill of good food, we got to open presents. The rest of the day was spent napping, playing games, and getting ready for the dinner party. I made rolls, and Greg's Dad made a ham, and Mom brought potato salad. Again, there was lots of food and I didn't even get to it all. We had a good time visiting with Greg's extended family--aunts and uncles and cousins...And Mom and Dad came just in time to start dinner. It's fun to be with such a lively group of happy people!


There was also a fire outside for people to sit around and enjoy the quiet. It was so cozy and nice. After dinner and more presents, people played card games at the table, and others went upstairs to play the wii or pool. When it quieted down a little, I played the piano and Lory played her clarinet, and we all sang Christmas songs. I hope we do it again next year--that was my favorite part!

That was a really nice evening. It started to feel a little more like Christmas to join in the gathering. Thanks to the Kelley's for their warm welcome. Great company and great food!
