Christmas was great! We basically did most of the usual things with a few adjustments from past years. Adah usually makes a yummy meal on Christmas Eve and we have Will's mom and siblings over. But this year we went out to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant and then went to look at the lights down town. That is where we saw Sister Zeller, Adah's old Primary student. This might be a new tradition...even though Will hates traditions. We came home and read the Christmas story in Luke 2 and had the kids move the nativity around as we read. Then the kids got to open their (matching this year) Christmas pajamas and I believe one more gift of their choice. It was off to bed after that.
Christmas morning was very white because it had snowed 8 or more inches over night. The only down side was the roads were a mess! The girls got up and snuggled for a bit while we waited for Grandma Flora to get ready since she spent the night. We did not wait long and started to open stocking and and presents too. Will's siblings came after awhile and it was a fun morning. The girls made it outside to play in the snow too. We had a big breakfast and then packed up to go to Will's dad's house. We opened presents there and and hung out at grandpas house and had a lovely dinner he prepared for us. We spent the night and enjoyed time with the family. It was relaxing and fun.
