| Sitting down to eat! Melissa and Bruce used the good China I had given them that my great grandma had bought me when I was just 17 for my hope chest. It looked beautiful and brought back so many good memories and made even more great memories |

We went to Bruce and Melissa's at 9:30. The table was set beautiful with her china! Loved seeing grandma's Daisy's China she got me piece by piece at Kroger's for my hope chest being used. I passed it to Melissa when I got Grandma Daisy's china she used every Christmas passed to me by my cousin Jill. We took some pictures and then they started opening presents. It was funny because I was videoing and Evan opened a present that was Jack's. Melissa said Hailey you passed out the presents wrong, but then when they looked at the tag, Melissa had written it wrong. Melissa had been up very late so must have been because she was so tired. Next Evan opened and as seen on TV swivel sweeper that was Melissa's. Then to top it off, Hailey opened a present and it was what she bought for Ally. Melissa saw it on the dresser and thought Jack could give it to Hailey. She didn't realize Hailey got it for Ally. I told her the video I was taking could win on funniest Home Videos. We were laughing so hard. So much fun watching them open their gifts. Papa and I got a thing to shove up in the light vent of the camper so it can be dark in our room or the bunk house. So nice since I have taped cardboard and tried other methods of making it dark before. Also got a memory foam bath mat which is so soft and comfy on the feet. Can't wait to use it. Hailey got me blueberry chocolate covered dried blueberries from Grand Haven which are so delicious. Max got me a bar of beautifully scented soap from the Maple Grill. Jack and Evan made pot holders at school and gave me one from each of them. After that, we ate breakfast. Bruce made scrambled eggs, egg casserole, potatoes, bacon, sausage, corn bread toast, fruit, chocolate chip pancakes with real maple syrup with orange juice and coffee to drink. It was the best breakfast ever! Such a fun morning. We watched "It's a Wonderful Life" after that. Such a nice Christmas morning. We left there and came home to let Mocha out and pick up some ice cream out of the freezer. We headed to Kimmy's. When we got there, the boys were excited to show us their lego sets they got for Christmas. So amazing the amazing legos sets they have now. Jacob even put a motor in his truck and could drive it around We got there just in time to eat a delicious dinner. She had Aunt Martha's beautiful china set out so nice which was another good memory of a dear aunt. She and Jared had made yummy ham, mashed potatoes, corn from the garden, rolls, chips, and doritos. We drank out of glasses they made which was a treat. Everything was delicious. We weren't real hungry but it looked so good and tasted so good we kept putting it in. We had fun playing pictionary with the boys, Kimmy and Jared. We certainly are blessed to have such wonderful family. We were sad we didn't get to see Vikki and her family because of her being sick. Kenzie was sick too. We got home and Kimmy sent me a message that Jacob was throwing up and she didn't feel good. Started praying right away for them to get better and no one else to get it. Amazing how fast it came on them.
