Christmas in Kansas

We arrived in Tonganoxie, Kansas on the evening of Christmas Eve. We went straight to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's to celebrate the holidays with the whole family. It was nice to see everyone, many of whom I haven't seen in a really long time. The evening was filled with food, presents, and laughter.

We woke up Christmas day and enjoyed Mom's infamous Cheese-Sausage Biscuits and syrup. We then opened the Devor Christmas presents. Juan and Brad were both excited to receive the RC cars they have both been hoping for. Later, we ate some breakfast and enjoyed some of Juan's new games.

The remainder of the family arrived around 2 p.m. We meet Dustin, Rachel's boyfriend for the last 2 years. He was a nice guy and it was nice to have finally meet him face to face. We started our afternoon with Elizabeth's quick birthday celebration. We then moved to the "Christmas" room and watched everyone open their gifts. Gift giving/receiving is always fun at any age. Later, we had an enchilada dinner. I was able to convince many to join me out in the cold for a football game, which later turned into a snowball fight. FUN!!

Rachel and Elizabeth stayed at Mom and Tim's house for the evening and we just hung out. We will be going to do some girl shopping and stuff tomorrow. :-)
