Christmas Trip - Day 7

Carolyn woke me up at 0800 - she was ready to open presents! Went upstairs and found Dad, Beth, Katie, Grammy and Aunt Eva waiting. Opened all the presents. Had breakfast and cleaned up kitchen. Watched "Bambi" with Carolyn and read some more while waiting to leave for Gerard's. Took a nap from 1200 to 1300. Left Dennis at 1330 - US-6 to Sagamore Bridge and Gerard's house. Helped make dinner (mashed potatoes) and had a great Christmas dinner. Talked for several hours - very nice conversation. Watched "Bull Durham" with everyone and then had desert and opened Christmas Cards. Watched family slide show. After some more talking with Gerard, took Katie and Carolyn home - via some Christmas lights in town. Listening to radio, heard President Bush announce the end of the Soviet Union! At home, watched the movie, "Total Recall." Read until midnight.
