Christmas Day

Christmas day.

Christmas day morning Cindy and I were alone. Cindy's girls spend Christmas Eve with their dad. I called the sweeties pies early, but they were asleep. They woke up at 6:00 AM (Anna first...waking up Gaby) and opened their gifts, and went back to bed. At 11:00 AM PHL time that I called, they were still asleep.

Cindy's girls were dropped off, and opened their gifts. We then went to their grandparents and opened their gifts. We spent some time there. Cindy's parents gave me sweaters, cd with famous speeches, and an IPOD from E-matic.

We then started our way to Dave's and I had a big fight with Kate. She was complaining about not having a social life. I had to explain to her where she stands as far as "real life," and how my family did not have much of a social life because we had to study hard and finance our way into college. I think she needed to hear that and also that we love her a lot, but she needs to realize that she has a lot of catch up to do.

We had Chrismas dinner at Dave's. The food was excellent. We had a nice, sweet wine from California, and all kinds of food.

My girls had a very late Christmas dinner at their grandparents. On Christmas eve they were also at their grandparents, and Anna opened her gifts. Anna got upset because she did not open hers. Gaby told me that her uncle Danny gave her a funny shirt that said "I put ketchup on my ketchup." He knows that she likes ketchup a lot.
