We celebrated Christmas with the Redfields the Monday after Christmas. It was a little different this year but we still made it feel like Christmas. Mom made a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings. My mouth waters now just thinking of it. After a late lunch we cleaned up the dishes and got ready to open gifts. We all gathered around the tree in the family room this year with Grandma Vivian. The kids dug into their gifts and before we knew the gifts were all opened and the kids were off playing with their new toys. Lane, Nate, Jason and Pat went back to playing cribbage while us ladies visited and kept the kids in line. Later on in the evening mom thought it would be a good idea for Jen and I to dig out our old Barbie stuff. One thing led to another and before we knew it we were digging out a boxes of old toys, pictures and even our letterman jackets from high school. We had a lot of fun talking about old memories!
