Christmas Day

Christmas Day was wonderful!


We woke up at Rangers and were ready for the magic of Christmas morning.

Bee doesn't understand Christmas or presents really but he is nailing the art of ripping open presents. He forgets about them promptly but he had a great time. He was very considerate and handed Jason all the little pieces of paper to throw away.

 
 
The kids loved playing and reading with Jason's Mom. They were so cute.


I finished Sweet's baby blanket just in time. She liked how soft it was. I am hoping that she enjoys it for years to come.

We spent the morning in our matching jammies, yes we are that family, playing with our new toys.


The men in the family played Talisman, as tradition. Jason has all of the current boards. When they set it up it took the whole dining room table. It was crazy huge, I wish I would have taken a picture. They played for over 6 hours. I would never do that. A game of Monopoly is long enough for me.

There was a big extended family dinner. The food was so good and the company was great. There was lots of conversation, puzzles and singing.











My favorite part of the day was Jason's Dad and Uncle singing in the living room. They had been singing for a while and I was trying to get Sweets asleep in one of the bedrooms. She obviously wasn't going to sleep so we went and listened to them. They were playing a bunch of older tunes, loved it. Dan, Jason's uncle, noticed Lily and he sang her a lullaby. It was very thoughtful and beautiful.
 


 Sweets loved her Great Uncle Chris. She was so ticklish and she kept flopping over backwards. After a while she fell asleep in his arms. He was so excited that she enjoyed spending time with him.

 
Merry Christmas Everyone!
