We had a great Christmas this year. Laid back and quiet- just right!
Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm- time for my annual mad rush to make Christmas pajamas!
While upstairs in the kitchen, chef Glenn cooked the amazing dinner. I didn’t quite get to the Christmas tablecloth and other adornments, but we did manage the Christmas dishes!
After dinner, the best part- kids snuggled up in matching pj’s to read The Grinch and The Bible:
Then cookies and carrots for Santa (the boys were feeling extra generous on the carrots this year)…
Some gifts dropped off by a mysterious doorbell ditcher…
Then off to bed to get ready for Christmas morning (poor Derek had a sore throat- he has been swamped with sickness this winter)!
It looks so similar every year- the kids are just a little bit older and the gifts are slightly different, but I love how reliable Christmas morning is for our family. I can count on smiles, hugs, and chaos. There are always messy faces and Legos strewn all over the house. We always stay in our pajamas as long as we possibly can. There is always some fighting and whining, but more joy and kindness. There’s nothing like being a family on Christmas day. Once again, it was a wonderful Christmas!
