A bagful of goodies for Seattle

Our most "typical Christmas" in a few years capped off with travel on Christmas night to Seattle (we haven't traveled on Christmas Day since 2019). While in the airport, we started talking about all our past Christmases. Of course, I got out the blog and looked at all our past Christmases. The boys enjoyed reliving some of our Christmas past by looking at what gifts they got, what the tree look like and what matching PJs they had. it was a nice

To relive some of the memories from Christmas past. From what I can tell, there have been only two years where we have not been home for Christmas Eve. One of those was out of necessity last year when we had to drive to Pender, and the other was in Phoenix in 2021. 

This year was a very typical Christmas day at the Peavy household. We opened stockings, we enjoyed our egg casserole and cinnamon rolls, and started opening gifts around 10 o'clock. Drake was up early and watching Santa Claus was coming to town when I got downstairs. The boys channeled their inner granddad and wrapped gifts in the morning. Marshall, too, was channeling Bob Peavy with the last-minute gift wrapping. 

We played a few hands of euchre throughout the day and the boys played some pool. It actually rained and was pretty gloomy during the second part of the day, which is quite unusual. After reading through the past blogs, I realized it would've been nice to note what the most memorable gifts were gifts. The gift that got the biggest reaction was the V bucks for Fortnite. Tanner got a new computer and several discs for disc golfing and lots of long sleeved shirts. Drake got many travel accessories for Europe, including a nice backpack. I also was able to get him a syndicate shirt for water skiing and he got an iPad.

Our flight wasn't until 9 o'clock, so we didn't leave the house until 6:30. Travel was super easy as the airport was not busy at all and our bags were the first ones off the carousel. A Merry Christmas at the Peavys indeed.
