After we left Hickory we headed straight for Derrick's family in Winston. We called Derrick's mom on the way there, around noon, and found out that the kids hadn't even finished opening presents. We were totally surprised but the kids agreed to wait for us to get there to finish opening. We were really excited about that because even though we are lucky to be able to split the day we always miss parts of the excitement with both families so it was a nice surprise to still see the kids open presents.
Trey got a pinata from one of his aunts(?) that he had to bust open for his real present. Uncle Rob hung the pinata from the basketball and he went to town with a baseball bat. Not before Derrick spun him around 10 times though.
Poor Riley woke up with a double ear infection on Christmas morning. Good thing Derrick and I got her a pillow for Christmas!
We enjoyed the rest of the day in Winston playing games and eating dinner. Around 7:00 we packed up the car and headed the rest of the way home. The next couple days were spent being lazy, enjoying our gifts, and getting the house back in order. It was so good and much needed after such a busy week. By the time Monday rolled around we were both ready to get back to work. We've been busy making small house tweaks since then that I'll post about later. I'm trying to decide what my next big project is going to be...maybe the master bedroom?
