Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we got up early and headed north to Muskogee, Oklahoma, where we spent the day at the Banks'. We enjoyed a wonderful meal then opened presents. I think we sat down to eat about 10:45 AM and had all the presents opened by noon!

We hung out for a little while and the kids tickled & played with Uncle Billy.


Sometime a little after 2 PM Wes checked the weather radar and the snow storm hitting our state was headed our way, so we loaded all of our stuff and climbed into the truck for our drive home. We did not encounter any bad weather during the drive and were thankful to only have to stop once for fuel & bathroom break.

My dad and sister arrived later that night. We enjoyed chips & cheese dip while hanging out until bedtime when Grandpa Homer read The Night Before Christmas to the kids.

And yes, Santa visited our home much later that night!
