We had a nice Christmas. We would have to say that Carter came out on top with presents. He got more than the rest of us put together. He really enjoyed it this year. Gail on the other hand didn't quite do so well. We sat down by the tree to start opening our presents. Carter started ripping his open and then Frank and I opened one and she started crying. She cries at the sound of russling or tearing of paper. So, needless to say, she didn't last long. We tried to get her to play with her toys but she just couldn't get past all the noise. Hopefully she will do better next year. After we opened our presents, we got ready to go over to our friends, Laura and Joe's house to have lunch with them and Laura's family. We all had a great time and we ate alot. Carter and their son, Paul, are pretty close in age so they played together. Their daughter, Karen, is only a day younger than Gail.Maybe next year they will be able to play with each other a little more. We left Joe and Laura's and headed back home. We all took a nap after we got home. Here are some pictures of us opening presents, etc.
