Our second stop for the day was Ben's parents house. We opened gifts with his family and then ate a great lunch. I ate entirely too much that day, well really all week. I don't understand why the ham and all the works is a meal only once or twice a year. It is always the best meal, and we stuff ourselves from it and then don't eat it all again until the next year. Somewhere we need to change that tradition!
The girls got lots more gifts and fun toys from Nana and Papaw too. We left several things there for the girls to play with at their house, but we did bring home our new stuffed rocking horses. The girls love their rocking horses, and they are the perfect height for them to climb on all by themselves. After we enjoyed several hours there, we packed up everything we got and headed to Ben's grandparents house. The entire Brown family met there at 2:00. We read the Christmas story from the Bible, and then exchanged gifts. It was nice getting to be with everyone, about 25 or 30 of us under one small roof. That is one of my favorite parts about the holidays, getting to be with family you don't usually see, all at one time!
