Christmas afternoon it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's to join the rest of the family for the traditional Killackey Holiday dinner of Turkey and Ham and of course all the other staples of the Holiday. I'm always responsible for the mashed potatoes. I peeled, sliced, boiled, and smashed 10 lbs worth. Then loaded up the car with all of the presents for the nieces and nephews and a case of cold ones along with the mashed potatoes.
The dinner was excellent and no one went away unsatisfied. There were plenty of leftovers for everyone to take home and enjoy the next day. Then it was time for the gift exchange. Grandma took up a new hobby this year and knitted all the children and the girls caps and scarves. Everyone posed for pictures sporting there new winter wear though this was the one time last night that it appears Heather had had enough of picture taking. Karen and I had purchased silk outfits for our younger nieces so Heather, Brooke, and Libby changed into their chinese silk outfits to pose for pictures. They were all very cute in their attire. Heather is very much at home with her little cousin Brooke, she was even prepared to spend the night at Grandma's with Brooke and Nicholas but when we told her we wouldn't be there she quickly changed her mind and said she wanted to go home with us. Guess she's not quite ready for sleep overs yet!!
