Two More Christmases

This weekend marked the end of the Christmas celebrations at the Purcell household.  Bill and I traveled back home more this week than we have in the past 3 months!!  It was great being able to see all of our family.

On Saturday we visited Grandpa Bill and Grandma Mary.  Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and Dirty Santa gifts.  As usual, we played White Elephant and everyone cringed at the site of the two pages of "right" and "left" listed in BOLD.  I did remind Bill the page numbers have decreased over the years! :)  We love to tease Mary about this game.

Today we celebrated Christmas with Grandma Donna and Grandpa Rick!  We ate our favorite chex mix and other great food, opened presents, and played.  For Nolan and Carter it was the first time meeting a few of their cousins.  Nolan had fun with the cousins playing, and Carter mostly slept and ate.  If Carter was awake, he was chewing on something.

A great weekend to end the Christmas celebrations and kick of the New Year!!  It was great seeing everyone and we enjoyed eating all the delicious food.
