Christmas Day: Christmas morning we open presents from Santa at our house followed by Mommy making pigs in a blanket for breakfast, then it is time to get eat lunch at Granny and Papa Edwards and later in the evening off to Popa and Nonna's for finger foods, dirty Santa and a family game of some kind.
I must say this was my favorite Christmas this far, oh I am sure they just get better but for now this is my favorite. This year we were able to start teaching Alyson that Christmas is not about present from Santa but it is about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I think for this year we have established that it is a special time, Jesus birthday which there is no doubt I know she knows that fact she has been singing it since Thanksgiving (Happy Birthday Jesus). She did however enjoy her presents and she was thoroughly excited to see that Santa had left presents for her under her tree and that he ate the cookies she left out for him. Alyson loved all her gifts: baby doll with stroller, high chair, and bed, dress up items, Dr's kit, games, kitchen, doll house, a shopping cart, and a stocking full of goodies. Santa also left a note just for her. It is a wonderful experience to watch a child on Christmas morning, so excited and full of life and wonder. Thank you Lord for the many blessings in our life and for all you have given us!
