The whole family came to Nashville for Christmas this year. Even Jeremy's girlfriend, Madison, was able to join us. It was so great to wake up on (Mehaffey) Christmas 
morning in our very own apartment and exchange gifts as a family. Brad's mom, Elaine, knows that I have a knack for shaking all of the gifts each Christmas, and she tried to catch me in the act, this year. She had a "No Peeking" gift bag that sounded an alarm when you got too near it. A police call went off, announcing a PIP Code - Peak in Progress. That didn't stop me... Too bad she was even more prepared than I anticipated, and had the gift inside wrapped in paper as well. I had been duped again!
We all received wonderful gifts from each other and from our parents. Heather even got her own stocking this year! Some present highlights include Officer Mehaffey's first Krispy Kreme Doughnut gift card, Brad's 5 lb backpacking tent and survival kit, my "Charlie Brown Christmas" DVD, the
first 5 Harry Potter DVD's and JK Rowling's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," Jeremy's tools, Heather's parallel Bible, Matthew's Police Bible, Don's iPod, and Elaine's huggy-robe-blanket thing, to name just a few. All of us girls exchanged some sort of Bath and Body Works products. All but one of us got the same flavor. I guess great minds think alike!
The girls spent hours playing Matthew and Heather's new board game, Uno Flash. Now, this ain't your momma's Uno game! You have to lay your card within six seconds and then the next player is selected at random by the game. You have to constantly be on your toes, and you don't have any time to organize the cards in your hand! We had a whole lot of fun with it. After that, the whole family watched "Dan in Real Life" and then fell asleep sprawled out all over the living room.
We even had a real Christmas dinner that evening. It was the most prestigious meal our dining room has ever hosted. The meal was fully equipped with Honeybaked Ham, green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes, crescent rolls, and a relish tray, all cooked to perfection. And the table was filled with Christmas cheer by the tree centerpiece and a Santa salt & pepper set as well as my snowman salt & pepper set. Not to mention, Brad's famous Southern sweet tea. Overall, it was a pretty terrific Mehaffey Christmas.
