We got up early this morning and Greerson was too busy building his Lego set from the night before to check to see if Santa left him a present. Turns out that Santa left a present, but Christa's mother "cleaned" up around the tree and had thrown it away. Grandpa Woody dug through all of the garbage, but the gift wasn't found. Greerson was sent upstairs to take a shower and Santa brought a new gift. turns out it was a shotgun shell and a note saying his new shotgun would show up next week. We had a houseful for lunch. The food was great and we all got to visit then do the Christmas auction gift exchange. Daryl got a wet/dry vac for the camper, Greerson got a ceramic horse with $20 and Christa got somewthing in a bag marked wild game. It turned out to be a candle and some footies. Everyone was nervous about it though, because Greg is known for bringing snakes and other wild critters as a gift. There was a huge box of Millionaire candy that exchanged hands several times. It was a lot of fun. Sheryl is planning on beating us a Mexican Train again so we are all warming up for a game this evening.
