Christmas in Gridley

After enjoying Christmas morning at home we packed up the car and dog and headed to Gridley. We spent the day there with Rich's family. Three of his siblings and there families were there, so it was a full house. We had a nice traditional Christmas meal with Turkey and all the fixings. We also had lots of pie and goodies for dessert.

After stuffing ourselves, the gifts were passed out and grandpa counted down to start the unwrapping madness. Rich and I watched and videoed the chaos. It was fun to see the excitement on the kids' faces.

Each year the siblings rotate which family we by for. This year Dave and Jessica had us. They are very generous and gave us many nice things. We got a puzzle, board game, popcorn tin and hot chocolate kit with electric frother. They also gave us some things for Ava. My favorite things were the cute baby shoes.

Rich frothing our yummy hot chocolate...Thanks Dave, Jessica, Kobie, Bella, and Lily.

Rich's parents sent our gift in the mail, but they didn't forget Ava. They had a nice wrapped gift under the tree for her. Since it will be a month or so before she makes an appearance we opened the gift for her. They gave her some clothes and toys. She is going to be a cute and well entertained baby...Thanks Papa Bruce and Nona Alicia.
