The Payne Family: Christmas in Virginia

This year my dad came out for Christmas so we met up with him at my sister's house in Northern Virginia. It's always a great time at the Candland's house. We headed down on Christmas Eve and stayed until Sunday night. We had festive food (featuring my dad's AWESOME cioppino soup), played a few rounds of Catch Phrase, and stayed in our jammies all day on Christmas. William was so excited to get the gift he has been wanting all year, a GeoTrax train set with remote controller. I don't think he stopped playing with it for more than 20 minutes since finding it under the tree Christmas morning. Although now he's all about the V Smile game set up on the TV. Thanks Aunt Robyn! Sean got a Kindle and a couple of Amazon gift cards to keep him reading until next Christmas. Charlotte's favorite gift (and by Charlotte, I mean me) was a super cute tag owl that Aunt Erin made. I got an Android phone that is awesome. I now know that it's totally addicting and I'm pretty good at online Boggle. I have yet to get into Angry Birds even though Sean tells me I don't know what I'm missing. It's been a great season. Now on to the new year!
