We had a blessed and happy Christmas! One of the things I love best about this time of year is hearing from family & friends. I love decorating the fireplace with everyone's Christmas cards & photos! Once again, it seemed like we just put out our Santa-countdown and then he was on his way! The kids wrote their letters to Santa, lit the advent candles, had two units about Christmas for homeschool, baked our treats...ate our treats, saw Santa and went to a candlelight service on Christmas Eve and Santa came as he always does. The kids were up (too early) to see what surprises Santa had brought!
We had a very American Girl Christmas! Kyrie was surprised with a Cecile doll, and Degen got the Bitty Boy he wanted (he named him Leo). He also got a camera.
Christmas Day was also a day for Legos! Both kids got Legos and spent time building. They played with their new toys & games before breakfast and getting their stockings.
Christmas is a day of leisure for our family! We stay in our pajamas all day, and I do my best to stay out of the kitchen... unless I am grabbing a cookie! This year, we bought fruit, vegetable and meat & cheese trays for our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals. We added crackers, cookies and candy for good measure! This worked out great for us! We all grabbed food as we wanted in between presents and playing and relaxing together! Thank you to all our family & friends who helped make this a very Merry Christmas! Our best wishes to everyone for a blessed and happy New Year!
