Spending time with family is such a special part of Christmas. Every year, we head to Eddie's extended family's for Christmas lunch and some more present opening. His family does the "Dirty Santa" game where we all bring a miscellaneous gift and draw names to see who gets to open first. The next person can either take the first person's gift or get a new one to open. It can get pretty nasty sometimes if the gifts are very desirable. We also all give our gifts to Eddie's Grandpa. He is very special to Evan as his only living Great-Grandfather. Later, we open presents with Eddie's mother, sister, and immediate family. Evan always gets great presents from Grandma. This year, she gave him a big Bumblebee Transformer that does all kinds of cool tricks. Later, we head to Sherry's parents' house to spend the night. This year, we got snow on Christmas night so Evan awoke to a winter wonderland. Evan's Uncle, Aunt, and cousins arrived to open presents that afternoon so we had another Christmas. Between playing in the snow and opening presents, Evan was a very tired little boy by night time!
