Christmas

We had a low key good Christmas this year. The Huntsmans, Berrys and Grandma and Papa came over for Christmas Eve. We had a little Christmas program with the family, dinner and played games. The next morning the kids woke up bright and early, so we took our time playing and opening gifts, but then Andy and I got a glorious nap while they played with all their treasures. We started a new tradition this year, the first is that we had the kids write letters to each other to put in their stockings. Andy's sister Kim told me about how her family does that and how it really starts off their Christmas day right with appreciating and lifting each other up. I really admire the relationship her children have with each other. I hope this tradition helps bring us closer together and make our Christmas' more meaning full too.  We had dinner at the Shinsels and tried out some of our new games. It was a good day.
