I love Christmas. Especially Christmas music. I start to listen to it the day after Thanksgiving. Only because Supremo won't allow me to listen to it any sooner. This year the kids and I put up the Christmas decor. It was a very stressful day. I think I may wait for some older help next year.
Noodle decided that we needed a train around the tree, so he went to work putting up the Geo Trax.
We got snow a few days before Christmas, but it melted by Sunday. We haven't had much snow this year. I hear it is unusual for this area, but I sort of like it!
Christmas eve pajamas. I think the Noodle's smile is the same in both photos. Same with the Chief's.
Christmas day was a great day. The kids were up before 5, but we made them go back to bed until 7. They got to go through their stockings and open 1 present. Then it was time to go to church. The kids were great waiting until after church to get down to business. I played a piano solo in church. It has been 7 years since my last piano solo in front of a large group. Usually I am so nervous that my hands and fingers shake. Let me tell you... it didn't happen this time! This time I was so nervous that my leg playing the pedal shook so violently that I about got the giggles because it was out of control. I kept going and made it through the whole song without so much as a snort from holding the giggles in. Whew. We got home and had lunch. Then we got to open presents. The kids had so much fun!
We got wonderful gifts from many family members. One of our favorite gifts came from Aunt Joni and Uncle Rocky. See for yourselves!
How thankful I am for the Savior at this wonderful time.
We hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
