Christmas morning 2020 was a bit different than years past.  Mark could not attend but the rest of us chanced it and hope for the best.  John John and I arrived at Laurel and Larry's about 9:45 and Tori, Keith and Wryatt arrived about 30 minutes later.

Since Mark couldn't be there, Laurel took over the cooking responsibilities and it reminds me of when JT and I were living with Mom to help her out and we had Madi with us and Mom fixed herself a piece of toast and Madi's comment was "Her can cook?"

Well, Laurel can cook and it was delicious (with Mark's recipes told to her).  She made a delicious breakfast sausage and egg casserole for breakfast, and she made the Mark's green bean casserole and she and Larry roasted a delicious standing rib roast so along with my pineapple salad, olives, rolls and cranberry sauce, and apple-banana mini-muffins and banana cake, and Mark's donated 26 twice-baked potatoes, (yummy) we had our traditional Christmas day feast -oh and the Boursin cheese and crackers.

The day revolved around Wryatt, of course, and he didn't stop all day long.  Tori, Keith, Wryatt and Madi left mid-afternoon to go to Tommy's house and Wryatt was just as wound up when he got back.  But for all his exuberance, he does know how to also play quietly by himself, also.  I am posting pictures and most need no explanation - it was a wonderful day and we hope that all our relatives had as wonderful a day.

All right,Jackie Cross, when Wryatt goes to school and tells his teacher that he got a poop sounder, we're going to also tell him to say that Ms. Jackie thought he should have this sound machine!!!  Like all little boys, he thought it was great and funny as all get out!
