Christmas Eve at home and feasted on kosher food intended to feed six or eight people. This
morning, we realized the blizzard actually only amounted to six inches instead of 12 to 15 inches
as predicted. It was enough to keep us from going to Sally's to watch kids open presents and
later, to prepare a turkey dinner.
Around four p.m. we were quite surprised that the young Whitakers managed to make it from
Grain Valley to Blue Springs. Our wait was well-rewarded because the boys had such a great
time opening presents. Ezra has always been exceptional at responding to gifts. The Razor
Scooter and Dragon Webkinz hit the jackpot and even induced a little fainting spell. I was
surprised since only hours before he had been totally surprised when he found a Wii behind
the tree.
Levi received a bunch of Yo Gabba Gabba stuff, mainly from Baboo and Ed. He opened the
coloring book at once, and looked like he'd been doing it forever, on his tummy with his legs
up behind him, and using an orange crayon all over the entire page.
Tonight, I will freeze Mr. Fresh Turkey and we will probably have him on New Year's Day.
Tomorrow, we start the clean up, but it was a remarkable Christmas Day.
