We got to the house about 11:00 and left for Cody's Road House Restaurant shortly thereafter. Marsha and I treated for lunch, after which we headed back to the house to open presents.
The pictures tell the story. Merry Christmas!

2012 - Dec 29 Our Christmas with the Kids
We had to wait until December 29th to get together for our Christmas with the kids. It was easier for us to travel to their house, so we loaded the presents into the back of the car and hit the road.

2012 - Dec 01 Adi's Gymnastics Meet in Salem, IL
It took us about two and a half hours to get there, but it was worth the trip. Adi got first place in her normal (intermediate) class on the double-mini trampoline.
Because she won the national championship in the intermediate class last year on standard trampoline, she was required to move up to the sub-advanced class this year. The routine requirements and the judging are much more difficult in the sub-advanced class than in intermediate. That, coupled with the facts that she just completed her routine correctly for the fist time three days before, it was her first competition in sub-advanced, and her coach told her not to expect high scores, gave here severe jitters to the point that, at the last minute, she told Faith she didn't want to compete in the event.
After reassurance from her mom, she sucked it up and competed. She got SECOND place out of eleven competitors!!
On Sunday, she got third place in floor tumbling, but we weren't there to get a picture.
All in all, it was a good meet. Needless to say, we are very proud and Adi was ecstatic!

2012 - Nov 25 Our Thanksgiving with the Kids
We had a sort of nontraditional "Thanksgiving" today. Since the real Thanksgiving has passed and most had eaten their fill of the traditional fare, we had chicken and cheese enchiladas. We did, however, have a traditional desert of Marsha's Homemade pumpkin pie. Deeelicious!
It's always nice to have our family together. We had a good time.
