On Christmas Eve day, our family (minus Matt and Sara and kids, of course---darn, we miss you!) gathered together to eat, visit, and exchange gifts. It was fast and furious, but fun! Brad took an HR test equivalent to a CPA exam that morning and was through by noon. And great news! He passed!!!! Congrats, Brad! I'm sure that was the best Christmas gift he could have received, bar none! Everyone gathered about noon and we ate our traditional Bratten's Clam Chowder, bread sticks, salads, relish tray, fruit, etc. We didn't plan extra things because we decided we just wanted to have time to visit and to let the kids play together. So that is exactly what we did. The kids had a great time together and we all just visited and played with the babies. The kids opened their gifts to each other (they draw names, which I love!) and their gifts from Grandpa and me! Pictures above. We were so busy that I hardly got to take any pictures! These were the extent! Definitely Christmas joy for Greg and me! We got everyone on their way home before the storm hit. Thanks to you all for making this happen in spite of all the business of the holidays and other family parties.
