We also shared a couple of great glasses of wine while waiting for the sun to set so that we could check out …

… cute boyfriend, Robbie! Diane had darling homemade cookies in the shapes of surfboards, starfish, doggies, and snowflakes, which we used in a cookie-decorating contest. So fun! We drank wine and opened presents… Matt and Blake got matching flannels just like they had when they were 3 months old …
