We had a great Christmas this year!! We first went to my mom and Doug's the weekend before Christmas and celebrated there. All of us kids and our families were there and it was a really good day. The kids played and played with their cousins. While the kids were playing upstairs, there was a loud knock at the door and a loud "HO HO HO" and before we could get the kids downstairs, Santa was gone and there was a big gift for everyone on the front porch. That Santa is quick!! :) The kids were amazed and super excited. They had a ball opening all their presents.
We went to my in-laws on Christmas Eve. We went to Christmas Eve Mass when we got there. It was a very nice Mass and Cameron and Landon got to go with grammy to the children's liturgy. Cameron always enjoys this. They also got to be part of the beginning processional where they each brought hay to lay in Jesus' manger. It was really cute. We then spent the evening enjoying family and eating and eating some more!! When we woke the next morning, grammy and grandpa's living room was filled with presents and there were stuffed stocking throughout the house. Again, that Santa is sneaky!! The kids were once again amazed and excited!!
We drove back to KC on Christmas. We got home about 8pm. Before we left on Christmas Eve day, Cameron sat some cookies and milk out for Santa and even left Rudolph a carrot (her idea). So, there was much anticipation on the whole way home if Santa had come to our house while we were gone. And, he did!!!! We let Cameron open the door to the house and her jaw dropped to the floor in amazement again. It was so funny! That darn Santa even left the fireplace doors open after he left!! Cameron is still baffled that Santa can get up and down the chimney. So, they opened more gifts and played and played some more.
Brent and I are very blessed with our healthy, adorable children and our dependable families. My heart was a little heavy on Christmas Day so I drove to my grandma's grave to visit with her. I was really missing her. So, I went and wished her a Merry Christmas, cried and told her how much I missed her, and left her a little note. It was quite the peaceful visit.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season!!
