With just three days before the North Pole toy manufacturing ceases for 2011 good boys and girls, Pippy hand-delivered her letter to Santa, gave him a high-five, and then hit the carousel ride. Christmas Eve Eve began with our immediate family's gift opening and breakfast of cinnamon eggnog French toast. Then Pippy handed out cookies to the charming seniors at Heron Pointe Retirement home, a tradition now in its second year. Both girls napped before loading into the truck and heading to Portland. We tried to make it to the Grotto, but it just didn't happen. Instead, we enjoyed an impromptu visit with my sister, before making our final destination: my parents. Christmas Eve was a wonderful day visiting, eating, and exchanging gifts. We celebrated mass at the quaint church located in Roy. We kept a vigilant lookout for Christmas light displays on the way home. Finally, everyone is asleep and resting. We expect Santa tomorrow morning, before heading out again to enjoy the company of Holster's family.
