Here’s the account of the Christmas I spent with L’Esther. We arrived and they ushered us in. The kids were chomping at the bit to eat so we could open presents! It’s tradition! (there are lots here: Grandma and Grandpa D, their 3 daughters and their families= Roberts-5, Paula-1, Sexton-7 and me :O) I love it, we all have tiny gifts with our names on it that they put at our plate so we know where to sit and they change each meal. After we ate we all sit in the living room and the youngest kids pass out all the gifts. Then each person has a pile of gifts. We go in a circle and open one gift at a time. It lasted awhile but was fun. Esther made me parasite cookies. They were in three shapes with names of our parasites on them; Wallaby, Parker, and Parliament. Funny! After all the gifts are opened they bring out plates of treats- cookies and fudge.
The next morning we woke up and we gathered yet again to open the stockings. Esther got some book for Christmas that looked good so on Friday I started reading one, I was on a mission to finish before I left. That afternoon we went on a trip to visit a Good Yarn Store. This was not just any store; it was a store that is based on the Books a Good Yarn. Books that Esther’s family sent her last year and we both read. It was cool to see the real place.
