Christmas Eve church service was nice, complete with candlelight hymns.
We came home to eat and put out cookies for Santa and then it was time to head to bed for the kids while all the grown ups chatted and enjoyed the Christmas Even food and preparations.
Surprisingly, the kids didn't wake up before it was light, but they were jumping around at the first light of dawn.
Stockings first while breakfast cooked and Auntie Jen and Uncle Dan drove over.
After breakfast we opened presents and enjoyed being all together.
I read an idea to document your Christmas Day by setting up a camera and having everyone occasionally press the shutter with a remote, so here's a snapshot of our day:
We took lots of breaks to play and enjoy our new toys.
Then it was just time to get ready for the Christmas roast beef!
But wait... was there one more present we forgot about??
We told the kids we were putting a Murphy Bed for guests in the basement. Surprise! Instead Daddy had been working hard on installing a rock wall!
Best Christmas yet. Merry Christmas!
