Nick and I flew here on Christmas Day (actually, Austin did too but he was on an earlier flight). Darcy came in later and finally we all gathered for a gift exchange.
This year we did a white elephant/ Yankee gift exchange- our own style. Basically just passing bags around and people getting what they got. It was fun and silly.
Chance opted to stay home in Aldie. He has work, and he is helping us greatly by watching the house and his and Austin's cats and our Buddy dog.
This visit has been what I would call "controlled chaos". We all do our own thing and we visit and listen to music and take a nap or whatever needs to happen.
It is so crazy to look at these young (is in your 40s young?) people and remember and imagine them as little, cazy, energetic kids and as small babies who slept next to us.
I have these feelings often, but Christmas brings them all up more intensely.
