Christmas 2010 . . . Part 2

So after working half of a shift on Christmas Eve (which happens to be the last time I've worked to date . . . crazy thought. Thank goodness for PTO!), I came home and slept for a few hours.

It was then time for round two of our Christmas celebrations.

We began at my parent's house by opening gifts.

And after a quick visit from my Oma and Opa . . .

. . . it was time to load up and head over to our family friend's house, the Jones'.

It was great to see them, as I hadn't seen Holly for quite a while. We had decided that this year would be 'crazy Christmas sweater' year, so see for yourself . . .

After a fabulous dinner, we decided a white elephant gift exchange was definately a necessity. And let me tell you that it turned out, as always, a complete success.

Some highlighted gifts were a moving scenic picture (which we happened to end up with) and a talking toilet paper roll.

And the night was topped off with a visit to my Grandma and Grandpa's house . . .

. . . for . . .

you guess it . . .

more presents.

And yes, that marked the end of our Christmas celebrations. The next day was spent on the couch with a nasty cold . . . we seemed to be a very sharing family this year.

But really, we had a wonderful Christmas, and are very thankful to have such awesome family and friends!
