Early in the morning on Boxing Day, K drove T and I to the airport, and we headed to NC for some additional festivities. (More on the rest of the trip in upcoming posts.)
K arrived herself the following day, and we spent yesterday evening having one final Christmas celebration. It was an Italian Christmas - mom made salad, garlic bread, and lasagna, although we did have a very lovely and French buche de noel for dessert. It was delicious, with raspberry jam as part of the filling!
While E's boyfriend M kept Molly quiet, we all sat around the fire and opened presents. Some were shipped down here ahead of time, others made the trip in suitcases. The same will likely be the case for the return trip to St. Louis. Except for the wearable gift, which will probably go home on my person. Thanks for all the hard work, mom!
Still one thing left to do: watch Love Actually! I can't believe I've been in NC for a day and a half and we haven't watched it yet! Possibly the only movie mom has seen more times than that is Green Card, and that's only because GC has been out longer!
