We really had a wonderful Christmas. I'll admit, I was missing some of the Christmas spirit leading up to Christmas. But it was my own fault for over-commiting myself to too many things and then putting off shopping until the weekend before Christmas. But once Christmas Eve arrived, I was stress-free! We had about 20 people over at our house after Church on Christmas Eve. It included the whole DeMoor gang, Mary Louise, and Tina (Steve's cousin) and her family. We ate a big dinner, then loaded up in the golf cart and the back of Steve's truck to go look at Christmas lights. Then we had dessert and presents and the kids had a blast opening their gifts. We concluded with a wrapping paper fight that was a lot of fun and sprinking reindeer food on the lawn.
Then Christmas morning the kids woke up were ready to hit the presents again. They scurried down the stairs and opened their presents from mom, dad and Santa. Brooke and Ali even got me presents! We were completely LAZY for the next few hours (which was wonderful) and they loaded up to head over to Mom and dad's. There we had yummy snacks, more gifts, a great dinner and desserts, and a fun game of charades. We feel truly blessed!
The girls are so sweet. I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas. Hopefully one of these days we'll get to see each other.
