On Christmas Eve we went to my brother’s house. We had a big lunch because Amanda had to work at 3pm. No holidays for nurses! Jessica and Stephanie opened gifts from Dallas and me and from my parents. Later on they got cookies and milk ready for Santa and wrote him a note. I can’t tell if Stephanie still believes in Santa. Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no. I hope she’s not reading this. If so… you know that thing about the big rabbit jumping around the world with baskets of candy? I don’t think Steph is allowed to read my site without supervision anyway.

When the kids were off to bed and Amanda got home from work, the adults exchanged gifts. It was a fun and laid back day. Jessica still won’t talk to Dallas, though. She’ll talk when he’s in the room, which is a big step, but she won’t talk to him.

I walked past one of those outrageous furniture stores on Milwaukee and saw this big Santa decoration. No big deal, except I had a flashback to when we were little kids and we got the same exact thing out every year and hung it on our front door!

On Friday morning my dad came down and picked me up and we spent Christmas Eve at my brother’s family’s house. We opened gifts from each other and had a nice dinner. We spent a lot of time tracking Santa on Norad’s site and when it said that he was in Maine we forced my nieces into bed for the night. The next morning Santa had left gifts under the tree and in all the stockings.

One other good thing – the Packers beat Minnesota to get their third consecutive NFC North Division crown. With 4 game-winning field goals this season, tell me why Longwell wasn’t picked for the probowl.

Stephanie made gifts for her parents and for me that were boxes wrapped in paper with a note on them. Here she is reading the note on one (184kb, .mov).
