We started the morning at Jack’s parents and enjoyed a few hours chatting and opening presents before running back to my family’s get together…
 |
| I guess Jay wanted to take up as little room as possible. |
…where we all received several gifts that were spot on what we asked for. Aww, thank you! It was especially fun hearing Evie shriek, “It’s what I always wanted!” when she ripped open her Lalaloopsy doll. They may creep me out but she and Claire are happy girls.

| Now Jack can avoid bee stings to the hands and face! |
 |
| (…and Jordan repackaging his kids to try and sell them perhaps?) |
…we headed back to the Elikers to have a late lunch and most importantly, video chat with his family from across the country. There were Nebraskans, Idahoans, Utahans and West Virginians who were actually in New York. Technology really is a miracle.
We had a light dinner with my family before everyone settled into a happy post-holiday stupor and headed home or crashed on the couch. What a happy day!
I think…

The day ended with the rereading of Luke 2 and pondering on the blessings that came from the Savior’s birth. It’s been so fun to watch the girls more fully understand the reason for the holiday season as we’ve read the scriptures, discussed them and reenacted the Nativity.
