Christmas recap, sans photos
I have just been reading everyone's blogs on Christmas and realized I didn't post one! We did have a wonderful Christmas. We enjoyed our Christmas Eve tradition of snack food, watching "The Nativity" (aka. Luke 2), re-enacting the nativity, and the kids opening homemade presents they prepared for each other. This was pretty cute, and included: pennies, a quarter, bracelets, a paper boat, a stick of gum, paper dolls designed to look like Star Wars characters, Barbie towels, and store-bought toys one kids owned and wanted to give to another. I was pleased with how gracious and thankful each of the kids were to each other.
Christmas Day was the first we've ever spent at home. It was pretty great. Wake time 6:30, stockings opened, Bacon, eggs, and orange rolls for breakfast, followed by present opening. For the rest of the day we played, assembled (Kory was a full-time laborer in this enterprise), napped, watched a movie, and of course- ate more. I cooked a spiral ham, party potatoes (you might call them funeral potatoes but my family has a long tradition of using the peppier name), rolls, veggies and pie. Yum!
Kory and I were excited to get a new camcorder this year, and we used it to make Christmas morning videos. We were so excited about videoing that we didn't even think about taking still shots. Oops! Oh well, less scrap booking for me to do, right?
