The girls came over around 9 a.m. with a wake-up call and Starbucks for everyone. Then it was time to open presents!
This was one of the family's favorite moments. Alice was opening a brand new old-fashioned grease strainer/container. Shorti said,"Mom, when's the last time you saw one of those?" And Alice wryly answered,"At my house, before I left." (The family jokes that everyone seems to be quickly replacing everything that Alice left behind at her old house, the same stuff they didn't think she'd have room for in South Carolina.)
Alice and a beautiful necklace, which she so beautifully models! Is she Santa or Saddam?
This is an eggplant velour suit, which she loved and quickly tried on for everyone.
This is a new remote, since Alice's sometimes gets lost. Bet she won't lose this one!
Pretty new pink gloves, even though it hasn't been below 60 degrees in South Carolina since early November.
Alice looking at pictures in her new hot pink brag book.
Alice with her new stocking that the girls gave her.
Throughout the morning, Alice was the recycler of the family, quickly grabbing ribbons from the packages and neatly rolling it around a box to use for next year. (She was finally convinced to throw away the wrapping paper, though!)
After opening gifts and a long nap, Alice, Rick and the girls started a new puzzle. You can't see it, but it's a puzzle of dogs playing poker.
The day was, as Alice demonstrates, MERRY!
