CHRISTMAS DAY!Aaron and I were soooo excited for Christmas since Hannah was old enough to understand the whole Santa thing. Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner together, then made a gingerbread house together. We each opened one gift, then put the kids to bed so "Santa" could come.
The next morning we could hear the kids in their bedroom so we knew they'd be coming to get us anytime. However, they didn't come into our bedroom as usual since the Christmas tree lights were on, they were drawn to that instead. We could hear them ewing and awing (sp?) so we came out to join them. They were so excited! Santa really had come and he brought them more presents then they knew what to do with.
I was most happy when I caught Hannah talking on her pretend phone laughing and really having a good conversation to someone. When I asked her who she was talking to she said, "Jesus, it's his birthday today". So, even though she was excited about the presents, she still understood why we have this special day.
Christmas Day, we went to dinner at my parents house where the fun only continued. All the grandkids were excited to share with everyone what they received that year. Mom and Dad read us the story of the 3 trees and to the kids they read "The Grinch who Stole Christmas". We played games afterward and then headed home in a blizzard! It was such a wonderful Christmas this year. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a very happy New Year!
