Our Christmas Tree Christmas Eve Night
Kids sporting their new PJ'sFor Christmas we had a nice family Christmas Eve Dinner up at my parents house in Everett. This is the first Christmas where they have had a home to come to for Christmas (since they had been living in a small apartment) I have to say it feels really nice to be able to go to their house of some Christmas festivities. It reminds me of being young when they were in charge. Oh, how I miss the days when I was the kid and got to just go lay down in bed and wake up to a room full of presents! For a brief bit I was the kid and my parents were in charge (of dinner). It felt good.
After dinner and the annual Nativity Scene Reenactment the kids opened up their customary new PJ's and then we headed back to our house, so Santa wouldn't get confused. My mom came up in the morning (since my dad was on in house call) and we enjoyed present opening and a yummy breakfast of coffee cake, eggs, bacon, OJ etc..
The big gift this year was the Wii. Something Wyatt had been pining away for for quite some time. It was a nice and uneventful Christmas. Just the way I like it. I am so grateful to have a family with whom I can share these memories. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I can't imagine it being very meaningful and fulfilling without them.
