Our Christmas Day was spent quietly. Bill, Travers and myself had our big dinner on Christmas Eve, waiting until Christmas Day to open gifts. We joined friends for Christmas Dinner then took the camper and the dogs to Lubbock. We even arrived in time to see Marley & Me with Jo and Richard at the drive-in.
Dec. 26th we hit the stores then celebrated Christmas with Josephine, Richard and Richard's family. Above are a few family pics, including Jo, Richard, Travers, Ginger & Dickie Reedy and Richard's sister, Robin.
As you can see from the pics, Jo and Richard had laboriously wrapped a package in duct tape for Travers.
After opening the gifts, the 4 "kids" went outside. They had been given Mentos candy and bottles of Diet Coke. Each one made their own mini fountain.
I keep telling Jo we're "creating memories." We label packages with name tags such as "Jo's little brother" or "owner of 99 Nissan." The duct tape wrapping has almost become a tradition. This year, Travers wrapped Jo's IPOD and Richard's DVD's in multiple boxes and layers of paper. MULTIPLE layers of boxes and paper!! Without knowing what Travers had done, they returned the favor. :-)
It was a Merry and very blessed Christmas!
