Christmas with the family

12-25-08
Had a very nice Christmas with the Vaughns last night and the McKerns tonight. Played scrabble and catch phrase, then more scrabble. Colleen's Mike beat me but I came in second with 4 players. Diane had some Christmas trivia games. Norma's mom is a hoot. I got a kick out of her. We did the white elephant gift exchange. Nothing too outrageous happened. Dan picked my gift which was a cassette series called "light his fire." Adam ended up with lottery tix from John. He put several real ones, then 1 fake worth $10,000. We were hoping for some loud fun/ high drama, but Diane read the ticket back revealing it's falsehood, before Adam could scratch it off and so it was anti climactic. Had the traditional Ham, cheesy potatoes, and green bean casserole. The Vaughns had all their traditional fare as well. Lot's of food, too many gifts and fun with Matthew our God son. I hope he likes us as he gets older.
