This Christmas will forever be one of those memories that warms the heart. The only thing missing from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was Daniel and Kamey. Although ...Daniel did call me bright and early this morning with a "Merry Christmas".
Christmas actually started on Sunday when Robert and I went to the cabin to help out getting a few things ready. We both enjoyed making popcorn garland for the 13 foot tree that has to be resized to fit in the living room.
I was surrounded by my family ....one of the best feelings a person can have. I got to take a the forth in a series of pictures with my siblings ....I think a frame with the all the pictures would be a good project for this year. The food was wonderful ..but the company even better. My brother really pulled this off ...if it were not for him ...it would not have happened. It was magical to say the least.
Once we arrived home Brittany, Robert and I opened our gifts. It was the first time that we opened gifts on Christmas Eve ....but I figured with Brittany being older ...we would give it a try. I haven't made up my mind yet if I would prefer to open Christmas Eve in years to come ...or wait until the morning. I haven't had a chance to talk to Robert and Brittany about their feelings on it yet.
I can tell you that Roki and Bullsie very much enjoyed opening their gifts.
Robert and I stayed up all night ...and had a fun and lazy day. Brittany was off to visit some other members of her family for a couple of hours.
I managed to call most everyone today ...most of whom I saw last night to once again wish them a Merry Christmas.
Tomorrow is another big day. This is the second year that Brittany, Alicia and I head to the stores as soon as they open to take advantage of the DaY AFTER CHRISTMAS sales. If everything goes right we will find some good bargains ...and possibily catch a movie too. I would like to see the sequel to National Treasure ....but it will be up to the girls what we see.
