Christmas - chapter1

The Christmas celebrations got underway this evening at mom and dad's house. Our tradition is to do Christmas eve with my folks, Christmas morning at home and Christmas-later morning with Melissa's family. It is great to have so much family close by.
We are really blessed.
We all had a great time tonight. We had a good meal and the girls had a blast. we all got great gifts but the family is the important thing.
Uncle George gave the girls one of his amazing horses. They kept taking turns riding it all night.
They were very worn out and they both fell asleep on the way home. It was an awesome evening.
ps - Thanks so much to all of you Nebraska folks for the nice comments. It is so great to see your families on your blogs. I wish we were closer but at least we can stay in touch this way. I hope you all have a Blessed and Merry Christmas.
