Christmas 2016

Christmas has come and gone, and we had another grand time.  We spent Christmas Eve together, going to the gym, swimming, and lunch at the Waffle House (yes, really).  We lounged around the house last night, watched some football, and relaxed.  We also kept track of Santa's progress on the Santa tracker.  Around 9, we snuggled up into bed, but we left the tree lights on and cookies out.

We sort of slept in, with Joey rousing us at 7:30 or so.  We then proceeded to the cornucopia and dove into the mass of presents...but we did take a picture of Bode before starting.

Here are some action photos of us opening various gifts.

We all hauled in some great loot, and spent the better part of the morning trying things on, adding batteries to games, and just (again) relaxing.  After lunch, we headed up to Dave and Jennie's for Christmas dinner.  JoAnne and Frank were there, as was Larry (Jennie's father), Jason, Olevia, Teddy, and Charlie.  The prime rib was amazing, as was the gravy.  Ashley chipped in and made a cherry pie.  And the icing on the cake (pie) had to have been the Steeler victory over the dreaded Ravens (the Donkos didn't win...sad).  We also opened gifts, which was the highlight of the day (other than that tasty gravy).

I also got a nice picture with "Santa."

 And, of course, a double-selfie with my wife, who must always wear something Auburn-related.

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a (WarEagle!) goodnight :-)
