Thank goodness for Bill and his awesome camera or we would have had very few Christmas memories.
We had a great Christmas this year. It was low key but very fun. Of course during the month of December the festivities began.
The goodies were baked
Gifts were made, and purchased with love
The streets were lit with colorful lights
Carols were sung
Hot Chocolate was sipped
Than Christmas eve arrived and the magic took place. Our Christmas eve was celebrated at our home with family. We had cousins, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas, sisters, and brothers, and adopted family members who really are considered family.
We ate soups, rolls, yummy jello, and treats. We played a game and than on to the most important part, the reading of the story of our Saviors birth. The tradition in my family is to act it out so that is what we did. After the story everyone went home to get all snug in their beds (of course we didn't get snug in our bed until late).
Christmas day was relaxing, full of kids playing with new toys, wrapping paper scattered about, and yummy treats sitting out for all to eat. For dinner we went to our Cousins home for yummy food, conversation, and games.
We really did have fun.
But, thank goodness we have a whole year to recover because I am tired!
