Christmas morning was low-key and lovely! The big boys got a basketball goal and basketball from Santa. Samuel got some GeoTrax. Both gifts were BIG hits. That plus some books and stocking stuffers made up the bulk of our Christmas this year. Light and lovely! Derek got a Blendtec blender and I got a Monster cable to listen to my Iphone music in the car (plus some stocking stuffers). Orange rolls and jello salad for breakfast made the boys happy.
Around 1 pm we headed over to Mom's for the rest of the day's festivities with extended family. The highlight of the afternoon was getting to hear the grandmother's (Dorothy and Kay) talk about Christmases past and their experiences growing up. Mom made an amazing meal and we had a good time opening gifts from each other. I love our family traditions!
But my favorite picture of the day is one that I snapped with my Iphone – after the excitement of the morning had settled and everyone was busy looking at their new things, I looked down from the top of the stairs and loved seeing all my guys quietly enjoying the calm amidst the chaos. This is Christmas and I love it…
This is the other (and more important) part of Christmas that I also love…
