We spent the day after Christmas with David's side of the family down in Norfolk. It was a lovely day - and much quieter than Christmas at our house as the numbers are significantly smaller and the house is significantly larger so it does a better job of hiding the kids... ;) The boys had a great time with their cousins down in the basement - aka "rec room." And we had a great time conversing - at normal volume levels - with other adults in the den.... ;-) All in all, a wonderful day.
