Okay, so I totally forgot to blog Christmas Day!! I had two posts just on Christmas Eve, then somehow I skipped Christmas! Obviously, I am a little scatter-brained lately!
The kids woke up at 7:40a on Christmas morning, which I think really isn't bad! And after opening their stockings, we all headed to the basement to watch an LDS Christmas movie that tells us about Christ's birth. It was a tradition of the Ellis's and I think it is a fabulous one! It really brought the Spirit and the meaning of Christmas into their home.
After the movie we headed upstairs to open and the presents. Halfway through we took a little break, got breakfast, and then we finished up opening the presents.
I still feel so immensely blessed that my friend was willing to get my kids Christmas presents, and that a family in her ward wanted to adopt us, so that the could get their Christmas Eve jammies, and one extra present. It was such a great Christmas!! Filled with nothing but love and lots of blessings!
