Our weather today was nice and sunny but high winds throughout the entire day kept the temps on the cool side.  We are expected to drop into the lower 30's overnight with the cold air hanging around for several days.

When John returned home from his walk, we ate breakfast and then got busy with the final food preparations for dinner.  I finished up the Jello salad I started last night and then made the stuffing for the turkey.  Around 10 a.m. we put the turkey and stuffing into the oven to be reheated.

This morning we Skyped with Hanna and Rachel and then Amy's family in Wyoming.  We heard about everyone's Christmas gifts and even saw a few of them.  It was fun talking to the kids and hearing them talk about their gifts.

We finished up Skyping just in time to get everything out of the oven, loaded into the car, and head over to Sandwick's where we enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner and fun conversation.  Following several hours of visiting we started home and, much to our surprise, as we passed Rodger and Tootie's place, saw that they had arrived.  We immediately pulled into their driveway and visited with them.  They had arrived around noon this afternoon after two and a half days on the road.  We spent about half an hour visiting and then left to let them get settled in with promises to get together sometime over the next few days.  

This evening we decided to start a Lord of the Rings marathon with watching the first film, The Fellowship of the Ring.  We'd like to watch all three films in the trilogy before seeing the new Hobbit movie. 

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas.
