Christmas at Grandma and Grandpas house starts on Christmas Eve with a traditional fondue dinner followed by opening one present- This year blankies & robes for the little ones, cuddling socks for the mommies and head flashlites for the daddies
. The next morning we started at Rory's house where we saw the kids after Santa visited. The back to our house for waffles a& more presents like Zoobie blankies and dollies. And what is that hiding behind the tree but a red rider air riffle for our little Ralphie. Maybe he will get the dasterdly wood pecker this year....
