We headed over to my parents for lunch. Mom made turkey, potatoes, salad and carrots and crab. We all enjoyed eating together. We spent some time laughing and opening our gifts. My mom and dad were thrilled that we were all there together and that we were enjoying ourselves except for the fact that Ethan was running a very high fever. We continued to open our gifts.

Reis Family Christmas ~ December 26th
We drove out to Oshawa to spend a Reis Christmas with my in-laws. It was tons of fun and we enjoyed eating turkey, smashed potatoes, stuffing, crab and shrimp. We then headed down to the family room to open all our gifts from Secret Santa. It was great as everyone got exactly what they wanted. I have a gift certificate that I need to spend. I guess I should start thinking of what I will purchase. I also received another gift card from my brother in-law and sister in-law for my birthday. I think some shopping is in order in the next few weeks. Then as we are taking family pictures the doorbell rings and in comes a good friend of the family with his wife and two girls. We've met them before and there littlest daughter was born on the same day as Ethan. Tristan and Ethan had a blast playing with the girls. It was a nice change as they never have anyone to play with while there or any other family members houses'. They are the only two in our family for now.
We had a wonderful time. Ethan was still not feeling himself but he put on a good face for his little friend Vanessa. I've attached pictures and also some with the boys and their girls.
My in-laws Joe and Rita excited that we are all together celebrating Christmas with them.
