Christmas is always such a fun day. I love that the girls came running into our room yelling 'Happy Christmas' in their sweet cute voices. And it was 7:30 not some ridiculous early hour. I love that they are genuinely excited and grateful to receive gifts. But even more I love that they were sooo excited to give each other their gifts. Even if the secret of what they were getting each other had been spoiled for many days. I wish I had it on video how their faces lit up as they opened their gift from their brother and/or sisters and I wish I had a picture of the face of each one as they watched them open the gift they had so happily picked out from the dollar store. Genuine hugs, thank you's and smiles were in abundance. It was seriously the highlight of the whole Christmas season for me. It was that moment that I realized that they might just understand the spirit of giving.
We acted out the nativity on Christmas Eve at my parents house. My girls only wanted to be a donkey (Aria) and a Canimal (Camel...Siena). We talked Jaron into being a shepherd and he was all for that when he saw his stick he got to carry.
Christmas late morning we had Grandma Glover and Aunt Margene over for lunch and to visit and then we headed back over to my parents for a yummy Turkey dinner and dessert. It was a fun day and now I realize I didn't really take that many pictures of the day. I guess it's good just to live in the moment sometimes.
They had to spread their reindeer food they made in pre-school to make sure they reindeer and Santa could find our house!
This might have been their all time favorite gift...well at least the gift they played with the most. They've played Rudolph the whole week after Christmas and wore these around all. day. long.
