Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year! It was so fun to have Owen here this year and the kids are at the perfect age for the MAGIC! We spent Christmas Eve at our house where we ate finger foods, sprinkled reindeer food on the front yard, put out cookies and a letter for Santa, sang Christmas carols, and acted out the Nativity. Owen got to be Baby Jesus which is really special. The kids and Dave and I took turns being all the other figures in the Nativity. It is so important to us that the kids remember what Christmas is all about.

On Christmas morning, the kids came and got us up at about 7:00. Not too bad. We can handle that time. Santa brought the kids the toys they asked for and a few other things too. We went to Grandma Burrahm's house for Christmas dinner and opened more presents. Later that night we went toGrandma Grant's house to open even more presents. The kids are spoiled.

We had a great lazy week doing nothing and enjoying the spoils of Christmas. I hope all of yours was a good one too!
