the fifth day of christmas

We made a road trip to Maryland this afternoon and visited Brian’s grandmother. She spent Christmas with Brian’s aunt’s family this year so we didn’t get to see her until today. It was a pretty nice drive because it’s all country roads and there’s never any traffic. Plus, the weather was good so that made it especially nice. Of course, I slept practically the whole way there because 1. I always sleep in the car and 2. I was all sneezy today so I took a benadryl before we left.

Brian’s parent’s were there. And, their big dog, too. We stayed for a few hours and then headed home before dark. We spent part of this evening putting some of our gifts away, but now we’re down to the hard stuff–finding a place for everything Jake got–so we’re taking a break from that until tomorrow. Maybe there will be more room then.
