After that, we had to finish wrapping presents back at our house and make Baxter comfortable there. My dad dropped him off. My dad also bought him a laser pointer and demonstrated how crazy Baxter is for it! It is really funny.
As per the new Christmas Eve tradition established over the last few years, we met up with most of my family at the Prime Table for dinner. Then we went to my grandma's house for snacks (cookies and Chex Mix) and to open presents. It was great seeing everyone and spending time with them!
On Christmas day, Kraig, Baxter, and I exchanged gifts. I got a pasta maker! I am so excited. It probably will take more effort than it is worth, but I have always wanted one and am excited to try it out. After that we delivered presents to our niece and nephews at their house. Kraig made the boys shelves to display their special "game baseballs." After that, we went to Kraig's dads house for lunch/dinner. It was really, really good. There was prime rib (and meatballs). We did a present exchange and now I am the proud owner of a Snuggie- maybe I can get one for Baxter. We got to visit with a lot of people and had a really fun time with everyone. However, since there were so many people Kraig and his dad had to forgo their usual shrimp feasting frenzy.
After that we went to my parent's house to hang out with the family some more, eat some more food, and exchange some more gifts. It would have been really fun except that I got really sick. My allergies had been really bad earlier in the day and then all of a sudden I was having hot flashes! I pretty much missed the present exchange (which is definitely not like me). Once most everyone went home Kraig and I had a nice time hanging out with my parents. I continued my gift trend by getting a mortar and pestle for cooking and an electric hand mixer. Kraig was also really happy to get the last DVD set of Avatar, a cartoon he likes and has been waiting all year to have.
We were very greatful for all that we received and all of the fun we had with everyone. I look forward to Christmas for so long and it always ends so quickly!
Happy Holidays to everyone from both of us!!!
