Just think of it this way...you'd get up early to catch a flight to see family members....except this is just a short drive away, PLUS you don't have to fix and eat breakfast before you leave! Just rolla outta bed, run a brush through your hair (Please! AA!) and drive on over.....
To Grandma's house because Christmas with the whole extended family is at
7:30 in the morning Dec. 23rd. Since the grandkids aren't giving gifts to each other, it should actually be a pretty short affair (are the aunts/uncles giving gifts to each other still? AC-u can use newspaper to wrap your cyber gifts with!) (wait-the "aunts/uncles" are slowing turning into the "great aunt/uncles"!!!)
Brunch at Grandma's after gift opening. AC and fam are gonna hit the road to do their two day trip back. Jim and I are gonna hit the sack because we'll have driven through the night.
Comments, complaints, anyone? This is the best we could do to get everyone together because of increasing time/schedule conflicts with everyone growing up, getting jobs and moving away.
