My mom and dad came to celebrate with us the weekend before Christmas. We packed many festivities into 24 hours. They arrived in time for a quick supper, after which we attended the Georgia Boy Choir Christmas concert--a stunningly beautiful performance! The next morning after breakfast and advent wreath we opened gifts. Then we went to Meg and Nate's basketball games and each of them scored a few points, much to delight of the kids and grandparents. From there it was back here for lunch and then back to Birmingham for Pappy and Mema.
My first attempt at homemade donuts. So yummy and not quite as much trouble as I expected. Definitely worth making again!
It is hilarious to see what the kids select as gifts for others. The day before I had taken them to the dollar spot at Target with handfuls of coins stuffed in wallets and purses and pockets. Usually when they purchase something I have them do all the work at the checkout. But this time to give the clerk (and myself...and the people behind us in line) a break and avoid 4 separate transactions involving all quarters, I decided to pay for everything and have them reimburse me at home. Anyway, they were delighted to watch Pappy and Mema opening their presents. Very cute.
