Christmas Day

We had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas Day.  Beki and Owen rolled out of bed a little before 9 am.  Chris had been up for a while already and already had a cozy fire going.  We opened presents from each other and then ate cinnamon pinwheels.  After that we skyped with Grandparents.  Then it was off to the movies.  We have some good friends, the Lumis, that we met up with.  They took Owen and went to see Parental Guidance and Chris and Beki went and watched Les Miserables.  Then we met up for dinner at their grandparents house and enjoyed visiting.  It was a great day.
