The kids slept in until 8:45 am or so. Merry Christmas to Mom & Dad, I guess! We actually had to wake Justice up at 9. Our sweet little sleepyheads! LOL! Too funny!
A couple of years ago, we started a tradition of snuggling in Mom & Dad's bed until everyone is awake. It's fun to chat and love on the kids. Then, we start our morning by kneeling in our bed and saying a family prayer. I love that it brings a special Spirit to our Christmas morn.
We also have to have a Cinnamon Roll Wreath for breakfast. This year, I forgot to get the Pillsbury Rolls in the can (never said I was a cook ;). But we couldn't fail on the tradition so I had to thaw some sweet dough and make my own. It turned out way cute but it definitely wasn't devoured like the other years. So next year.... back to simple! LOL! After the Opening Extravaganza, we just enjoyed all the gifts and each other! Lots of fun!
It was a fantastic Christmas morning! The kids got tons of fun stuff. They were very happy! HIGHTLIGHTS of the major gifts AND the annual Home-made ones --Dad got a Hunting game for the TV, a movie AND a roll-up wrench holder. Mom got new black boots, the Mega Twilight Board game pack AND a DVD of our family's 2010 year. Liberty got her American Girl doll Josefina with some outfits & the books AND a Piano bag. Justice got Pokeman cards AND Transformer pillowcases. Victoria got a Leapster AND a new quilt for her bed. Glory got everything Dora (She's in 7th heaven) AND a new quilt for her bed, too. We also got really spoiled by all our friends and family! Thanks so much for thinking of us. We love you!
Merry Christmas to one and all!
