Each year we have an extended family Christmas celebration. It usually takes place the weekend before Christmas and this year fell on Saturday, December 17th. We opened presents one at a time, in order of age, again this year...starting with the youngest (Levi) and went up;) I think everyone enjoys this, mostly so that we can focus on that particular child and things don't get too crazy. Grandpa Perry always wants to make the kids wait until after dinner but I for one don't want to be rushed to finish my dinner so I take charge, letting them do it before hand. Sorry Ken;) After gifts were exchanged, we enjoyed prime rib, mashed potatoes, salad, dinner rolls and of coarse plenty of desserts...YUM!!!
