Silvia’s family is in town, and it is a lot of fun to have so many kids in the house.  They (9 people) drove down from upstate New York.  It took them about 23 hours driving time and they were very tired when they arrived.

On Christmas Eve, we all spent about 4 hours wrapping gifts and talking over coffee.  It was fun, but we were all exhausted.

We had presents for all of the children, and it was quite a sight!  We probably had 80 presents under the tree.  The morning arrived and the kids went crazy!  There was wrapping paper everywhere, but I think everyone enjoyed their gifts.

I received a Zune from Silvia, which I will write about next.

Silvia’s family will stay for our wedding, which happens this Saturday.
