Christmas is over
Well, it was a really good Christmas here; I hope yours was good as well. It is so much fun watching kids open presents! We made sure to hang their stockings on the fireplace mantel, and leave cookies for Santa on the mantel as well. They wanted to leave the cookies on the coffee table, but I told them that the dogs would eat the cookies before Santa got here, and that he would see them on the mantel beside the stockings, so that satisfied them enough to get them tucked into bed.
They were so excited that they didn’t get to sleep much before 11:30! And of course, they were awake by 4am and woke us all up so we could open gifts! Thank goodness I managed to sneak in a nap shortly after breakfast! My sister put the turkey in the oven and prepared the stuffing. Most of the food was prepared the day before so all we had to do was reheat most of it. All in all, it was a wonderful day, and I’m glad they came!
