It was another memorable Christmas day, full of joy and wonder. On Christmas Eve, we attended our family church service in the afternoon and then went out for Chinese food as we have for years with our good friends the Miners. That night, we checked out the holiday lights on our drive home, read some Christmas stories together, put out our cookies and milk for Santa (plus carrots for the reindeer), donned our new Christmas Eve pajamas, and all went to bed early. Christmas morning we were up with the sun, opened the goodies from our stockings, ate breakfast, and then continued on to open the big presents. It’s always wonderful to see the beaming smiles and hear the shrieks of joy that tell you the kids got exactly what they were hoping for, or better. These are our Christmas traditions.
{this ornament came from my grandmother’s house. my mom had bought a german ornament to look like each of us and gave them as a gift to my grandmother. this one was me.}
The gifts the kids specifically requested this year, for Ella a longboard and for Jack a bow and arrow set, came from us. Santa’s big score was some big LEGO sets.
Merry Christmas!
