We were on the road Christmas Eve and virtually no traffic. Drove two hours to my daughters family to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day with them. Got to see my two grandsons on Christmas morning with all of the excitment and opening their Christmas gifts. Sean is three and Morgan is a little over a year and a half. He does whatever big brother does so it didn't take him long to get the hang of opening gifts.

Poor Sean had a serious cold and Morgan has his two eye teeth coming in so we had to deal with, excuse the expression, multiple snot rags and constantly runny noses as well as red watery eyes. All of the adults had a great time as my son flew in from Chicago to spend the Christmas Holidays with us. It was nice to have the whole family together.

Then there was the two hour trip back home on Christmas day in the early evening. Again, virtually no traffic on the Interstates and it was smooth sailing all of the way back home. My son leaves today to go to Washington DC to visit college friends and then they will move the party to Philly. He'll be back by Sat to fly back to Chicago to spend the New Years with his Chicago buddies. Youth!

All in all a great Christmas Holiday. Just sorry I missed the Candle Light Service at our church.
