Mom and Dad came over yesterday morning to exchange presents and hang out for lunch before we headed south. Sam was probably more excited just to help everyone get their presents open than to actually get her gifts! Ha.
It snowed on and off for most of the day but we thought it wouldn't be too bad. Unfortunately, it was really messy out on the roads with a lot of traffic. What usually takes us 1:35 took us 2:15 and poor Ryan was white-knuckle driving for a lot of it. Ugh. Luckily, Sam was mostly amused by the IPad in the back seat, with only a few "When are we going to get there?"s thrown in! She was exhausted by the time we got to Irene and Dana's from all the excitement of the past few days, and actually managed to sleep in until 7:45 this morning!
Of course, she was going to be our alarm clock so we could get out for a run together before Ryan and Dana went to pick Phyllis and Ted up, but well, that didn't happen. I did manage to get out for a rather sloppy 5 miles on the Weldon Farm Loop while Irene and Sam got the table set and all the presents arranged under the tree, so it worked out OK for me in the end at least :-)
The rest of the day we spent hanging out, opening presents and eating. Sam once again helped everyone open up their presents, and of course, helped Dana get all the trash put away.

Sam decided that what Great Grammie really needed was one of her paper plates :-)
Best gift of the day!
