Sadly, our kids were pretty sick on Christmas Day. No one wanted to eat the fancy breakfast I made; instead, we had lots of crying. And we didn't even get through all the presents before people had to have naps. In fact, we didn't even get through them all that day. It just goes to show that you can never predict things with kids; not everything is a home run. Sometimes you do the best you can. Sometimes you cry and yell on Christmas, and not just the kids. =)
But, we did still have some good moments. For the first time, Ruthie really understood the concept of the stocking - she loved it! Here she is, pulling out some goodies.
Jonah sort of caught the vision. He timidly pulled items out of his stocking and wondered at the mysteries of fruit snacks.
Here's our tree, prior to the opening, such as it was. I am amazed at how many presents we were able to get for our budget. You got to love the Goodwill and the Dollar Bookstore!
Here's Ruthie, opening her baby doll (who has a pacifier!) from Grandma and Grandpa McCurry. With their recent move to Idaho, their gifts came in the mail and were a big hit!
I hope your family had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. And just to clear the air, no New Year's Eve post is coming. We are not cool and have nothing to report for the evening. I worked at an event Downtown until about 10:30 then hurried home to watch the ball drop with Ian and we were in bed by about 12:03. But if yours was exciting, hats off to you! Anyway, may 2015 be a wonderful year!!
