The girls brought their stockings into our bed and went through them. They got little things like toothbrushes, panties, gum, candy, socks, mittens and a little toy each. Avery's response on her toy "Mom, I have been wishing, no I mean dreaming of one of these for so long! I can't believe it! Thank you!" - this was after receiving a baby zhu zhu pet! :) Love that kid! She was the most grateful little thing all day long. She must have told me 20 times today that she was so thankful for all her gifts, specifically named her Rapunzel dress up several times.
Before we opened presents this morning, Avery requested that we sing "Happy Birthday to Jesus". Maybe we could start that as a new tradition. :) We had the chance to skype with Nana & Grandad and Mimi & Papa and the cousins, that was so fun. We are looking forward to seeing them this week.
The girls were in bed and it was 8:45 - Avery says "Mommy, you said we would go look at lights tonight?" Oh, bummer, we totally forgot!!! Well since Christmas is only one night of the year we hoped in the van and rode around for about 1/2 an hour. We did see the most incredibly tacky decorated house/yard and it was totally worth going. Riley fell asleep 1/2 way through which made her a breeze to get back to bed. :)
That's the day. Nothing super special but complete family time...the best thing ever! Thank you Lord for this day and for your most special gift of all! JESUS
