No pictures yet, but we survived our final Christmas gatherings with all of our faculties intact.
First up was Part III: Christmas Day at Eller's home in North Branch with Stan's family. It was the most enjoyable one yet. Pretty mellow with good food contributed by all. Stan got a Barnes & Noble gift certificate and a sweater. I got a smore maker and chocolate fondue set which I exchanged for a soft and fuzzy Egyptian cotton robe. Noah made out like a bandit, again, with his main gifts being a Leap Frog Leap Pad and V-Smile video game. He also got a Captain Jack Sparrow pirate costume from "Pirates of the Caribbean." I must say he does look awfully dashing with his fake dreadlocks.
Then was Part IV: 12/30 the entire Melander family Xmas in North Branch. We showed up late, ate a lot and got out at a decent time. One of the uncles dressed up like Santa to distribute presents to the kids and Wayne took the kids out for a hayride. Noah had a great time and got a pirate board game from Santa.
Now, it is done! We are officially on to celebrating New Year's Eve. But that, alas, is another post all together.
