Christmas Morning in Durham

Continuing our holiday chronicles...

After our late night on Christmas Eve, morning came early at 8107. Matt and I woke up around 8 a.m. After a few calls to family members, we headed downstairs to exchange gifts.

Our gift exchange was wonderful...and a reminder of how very blessed we are. I gave Matt a few things, including a month's worth of piano lessons (he's trying to learn again), new cologne (Acqua di Gio), a new book (Working at the Ballpark), and a t-shirt and hat from his new favorite place (Chick-fil-A). Among the things Matt gave me were a new robe, Diner Dash 2, and a new point-and-shoot camera. He did a great job!

Our relaxing morning quickly turned into a rush, as we had to finish packing and shutting down the house for our travels. We were running a bit late, but fortunately for us, our flight was as well. Thanks to a 50-minute delay, we managed to make it to RDU, park in the long-term lot, and get inside with some time to spare. At 2:05 p.m. on Christmas day, our plane was en route to Baltimore.
