Our Christmas was a great day! We started officially on Sunday. We had our kids program in the morning (Shelby was the star of the show - More to come on that, hopefully). We went to Grandma Mowreys for lunch and gift exchange there with the Mowrey clan. Then we had our candlelight service Sunday night. It was a nice time, and Colesy didn't burn anyone or thing with her real fire! (small praise!) Monday we got up and let the girls open their stockings. They had fun, and it was just enough of a taste of things to come. While Matt ran to town to get some needed items, I took the girls to the boys house (Micah, Jared and Ethan) so they could exchange their gifts. They had a great time. The girls got Polly Pocket things and they got the boys a driving game that you hook up to the TV. Looks like great fun! When we came home, we had just enough time to take a nap before going to Grandmas for dinner. We had ham and too much other food. :o)
Christmas morning we got up and opened our presents here at home and then chilled for a couple hours. Then we went to Grams for the rest of the day. Suzie was not able to get there til about 2:30. We went for lunch and then hung out til she go there and then we opened presents for the rest of the day. REALLY! There were 12 of us and we all open them one at a time. We had to take a break and eat dinner (Prime Rib!) then finished gifts and then we finally got home about 9, leaving early since Matt had to get up at 4 this morning.
What a festive time we had! We forgot to take our camera to grams, but we got a couple from the morning at our house.
Of course, Blogspot seems to have a problem with my uploading my photos, so I guess you'll have to just use your imagination! Grrr.
