Christmas afternoon, after hearing from Casey that after you got out of the neighborhood the roads are fine, Eric, Serenity and I braved the snow to go to Mom’s house and deliver all the baked goodies we’d been working on all week. The roads were not fine, but after a stressful drive we made it. We had a blast, and even Eric (the poor beleaguered driver) said that it was worth the drive. We got to meet baby Cooper, our newest great-nephew! He is tiny, it is hard already to remember when Serenity was almost that size. We had delicious Mexican food made by my sister, and then we opened presents from Grandma. Serenity got a purple car and a farm uno game. We tried to go home before it got dark, but we got stuck in our parking spot as there were people behind us and the car chose not to go forward. So we spent a wonderful night with Mom, Casey and Barrett. We played Yahtzee, Casey’s new states board game, and Mom and I started watching Season one of Felicity, our gift to her. It was wonderful fun. Serenity loved playing with her cousins. Casey even read her a bedtime story and she climbed in his lap. And she slept really well in the baby bed Mom has there.
