The Brown's: Oma/Mom/Sharon
The Aung-Myint's: PoPo/Dad/Robert, Joe (practically 20) and Nigel(14 1/2)
The day started out sluggish, as Christmas morning should. Everyone gathered in the living room around the tree when the little ones started to realized what the day was! I'm pretty sure that they all remembered quickly who came to visit the night before (see Christmas Eve post) - and hoped he left something good under the tree for them! No one was disappointed this year! Happy faces all around! The girls even got together and planned an anniversary gift for Larry and me- they pooled some of their own vacation money to buy us a gift card to Applebee's- and they made us a cute card on the computer with their cousin, Josh. So sweet! All the cousins, including Joe and Nigel, had a little gift exchange amongst themselves. The $10 limit was strictly enforced and we had to laugh when Joe and Nigel both got the same "20 questions" game in different colors! All left happy with ipods to Hulk hands, Mickey Mouse to flapper dresses, summer sausage to a new keyboard. Merry Christmas! 
We had a yummy breakfast, very casual, and got ready slowly. We had the opportunity to head to the dock and get some all-family pics done. (Yes- the lake, the dock, the sand, all outside on CHRISTMAS DAY! Yeah for Florida!) Then there was music, games, Rock Band, yummy food, laughs, foosball, movies and more to round out the night-
A very merry Christmas, indeed!
