Christmas

We had such a lovely Christmas here. Just wonderful, but it's probably time to share some of the highlights.

Nanny was up from the big city to enjoy the holiday with us. We had a nice Christmas Eve, and church was busy and full. While Dad headed out to his other service, we got to drive around and see the lights with the kids. They hurried off to bed, and fell asleep really quickly while the grown ups got to enjoy a glass or two of wine.

Next morning started off slowly. The kids actually had to be woken up after 8. Ruby was especially slow to rise. Oh, but when they DID wake up, the excitement began!

Stockings!!


The much asked for Leapster in PINK! (unfortunately, it only worked for 2 days, so got exchanged for a green one, like her brothers. She's ok with that)



Many fun things to open!



The morning flew by, between opening gifts, eating breakfast, heading out to church, dropping off a gift on the way home, there was just so much going on. The afternoon was much quieter. We relaxed, played with new toys (for kids and grown ups), did a little work for the turkey dinner, talked on the phone to some loved ones far away. Then ate our delicious supper, followed by playing our new Wii game, courtesy of Uncle J, Aunt V and cousin K. Such fun! I think we all ran off the turkey, or at least the potatoes :)



It was such a great Christmas....just wonderful. Wish you all could have been here to enjoy it with us.
