After a big morning with Mom and Dad, Matthew arrived home from his Mom's and we headed out to Mamaw Fleta and Papaw Jeff's for our traditional brunch feast and gift opening. There is always a nice spread of food. Sausage gravy and biscuits, fresh fruit, french toast casserole, and Papaw's egg breakfast casserole. Mommy always takes a platter of Dad's cookies and fudge so the kids have something sweet to end the afternoon. Mamaw and Papaw always go way overboard on wonderful gifts but we loved them all!
Around 4:oo we packed up and headed out for Mamaw Cathy's and Papaw Mike's for dinner and gifts. There are 11 grandkids and one on the way over there. So its always a fun and busy place. Mamaw Cathy always has a big spread of food since she almost feeds an army. Ham, green beans & potatoes, dressing, sweet potatoes, macaroni & cheese, many finger foods and desserts. It was not only my first Christmas...but it was Dakota's too!
Wow... after a big day, we still went home and Matthew had his gifts from santa still to open. Mom says I will get used to this being a big day because it is usually always the same schedule year after year. What a wonderful family holiday!
