After leaving Christmas at my sisters house with my extended family of Uncles, Aunts, and cousins we headed over to Tara's parents for Christmas with her family. We didn't have a meal here today, having an appetizer buffet instead. We headed to the basement, where we all got to open our gifts as well. I want to take a minute to thank everybody for everything.
