We recently returned from Atlanta where we visited some of my side of the family for a Christmas celebration. We had a layover in Charlotte, and unfortunately, both ways one of our flights was cancelled. So on the way down we ended up renting a car and driving the rest of the way rather than waiting around in an airport with three cranky kids hoping to get on one of the other overbooked flights. On the way back, we were able to catch the next plane pretty easily, but it was a long day.
Other than that, we really enjoyed getting to see family. My aunt always decorates her house beautifully. We had a few different events scheduled. One was a presentation which the kids and their cousin gave, each one on a different aspect of ancient Egypt. L did mummies, and Z talked about the people of ancient Egypt. My aunt set the whole thing up like a conference (she's an events planner), and we all wore name tags, the kids wore special shirts, received some presenters bags with small gifts inside. This was their first (and mine) power point presentation.
My aunt and uncle have three dogs: a large one, a medium sized one, and a small one. The dogs didn't particularly take to us. There are a lot of us and the kids aren't too experienced around dogs.
Opening presents.
The kids were about to start their own version of a white elephant game that the adults played. We learned from this year's kids' game and hopefully will get it better next year.
