We had a wonderful Christmas day. It was a Christmas miracle and both the girls slept in, we're talking after 8:30 am, and Rachel not even till 9:00. I consider it their Christmas gift to me, and it was just what I always wanted!
We did stockings first, and then after we were all dressed we did our reading of Luke 2. After was present opening. We all did pretty good. Highlight gifts: Chris: Nurf gun, games/puzzles, money for new shoes and lift ticket at Snowbasin. Val: Sleeping in, messenger bag, money for clothes, Lindor chocolate balls. Macy: Unicorn head on a stick, Rapunzle dress-up, unicorn toy, books, and games. Rachel: Duplo, Little People Princess music castle, and princess toys.
Every time she talks about this 'unicorn head on a stick' I get flashbacks of reading Lord of the Flies.
Once we were done gifts we had the traditional Christmas breakfast. We wrapped everything up around 11:30 am, in time for Rachel to nap before going over to Grandma and Grandpa Lamont's.
Rachel was not at her best, so we didn't stay long, but Macy had a sleepover with her grandparents and lots of fun with them. We enjoyed the Christmas day, and visiting on the phone and skype with family. We are grateful for all the blessings that we receive, and of course the blessing of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
