Early Christmas

Before we got on the road on Thursday, we had an early Christmas with the boys and Elizabeth. She had taken the boys over to her house for breakfast in the morning while we loaded up the car, and she brought them back after lunch (Michael ate quite well over there!). My parents sent a lot of little things for Michael and Malcolm, some of which they had said would be good for the road trip, and we had a little exchange with Elizabeth, too. It was very sweet and everyone enjoyed it.  Michael liked each present so much it was hard to get him to open any subsequent ones.  We were very thankful.
