This Christmas was very nice. There were only 6 of us on Christmas morning. I was quiet and relaxing (we did miss our Toronto relatives though!!) We got up and Emily and Noah opened their main gifts from us. We got out some food after that...some muffins and fruit to eat while we opened the rest of the gifts. In our family we watch everyone open their presets in stead of doing it all at once. This means it takes awhile!! We were opening until after 11:00!! We had a bacon and egg breakfast after that!! It was delicious!!
We played some games in the afternoon smelling the turkey while we played. We got the kids the electronic game of Life as our family game this year. I think we played 3 games that afternoon!! We ate turkey dinner around 6:00. Everything turned out really well!! I was proud of myself. We enjoyed a birthday cake for Jesus for dessert! That is a family tradition.
Overall it was a lovely Christmas. I think my kids are finally learning that Christmas is not about how many gifts you can get and getting everything that you want. They were very thankful this year and took the time to appreciate everything that they got. I am glad they are finally getting that!!
