Casill Christmas

The first part of our Christmas celebration was with my family.  John, mom and dad came up to NJ to celebrate with us.  John came early so that he could take me to chemo on Wednesday (Mike had to be at home to meet the contractors who are replacing our HVAC system) and mom and dad stayed after we left to watch the fur babies while we headed to visit the Vogels in Ohio.  So nice of all of them to help us out!


Christmas eve morning, the Scott's came by so that we could spoil Regan with a wagon full of treats!  She was so delighted by everything, even the things she wasn't sure what they were

Regan:  "oh my goodness!!!!!" 
Char:  "what did you get?"  
Regan:  "I don't know!!!!"

and it was fun to watch her help Uncle Mike assemble the miniature wagon that she took home with her (the big wagon will be in storage until the weather warms up!)

Regan "Uncle Mike... watch your fingers!"



Afterwards, we broke from tradition and opened up all of our family presents Christmas Eve afternoon.  It was a bit different opening presents with a glass of guiness (instead of a mug of coffee) but I am certainly not complaining!  After 3 years on my Amazon wishlist, I wound up receiving two giant stone mocajetes (one from mom & dad and one from john)... guacamole anyone????
