We had such a wonderful day celebrating Christmas! It started early, with both of the kids awake by 5:45. The first thing Lily said was, "Santa brought me a ball!" before she had even made it all the way downstairs. Santa brought Dylan a "Story of Christmas" board book for his stocking, and Lily immediately sat down to read it to him. This is my most precious memory from Christmas morning - Lily telling her baby brother the story of Jesus' birth, in her own words.
After opening the gifts from Santa, we had some delicious cinnamon buns that I had set out to rise overnight. There were way too many rolls for us to eat, but they were such a yummy treat for Christmas morning. Then we spent some time online with Grandma Jenny, Grandpa Scott, and Uncle Mike. It took a long time for Lily to open her presents because she really wanted to play with each new thing instead of opening the next gift.
It was a really fun Christmas morning, and before we knew it, it was time to get ready for Christmas dinner. We spent the afternoon with our friends the Turners. David smoked a turkey, and we had twice baked potatoes, scalloped corn, salad, rolls, and a cherry pie that was nearly a disaster (but it actually turned out to be edible!). I love good food, and I love sharing it with loved ones on special occasions.
We had a fantastic Christmas, and we hope you did too!
