Christmas

Christmas morning was exactly how it should have been. The kids woke us up early. We opened a present, played for a bit and then opened the next. It took us over an hour to open everything.
Annie was content eating the one cookie Santa left until she opened her doll. She grabbed it, hugged it and kept patting it's back.
The boys loved everything they got. Especially their animal planet sperm whale and sharks. After opening it Mac excitedly said, "Santa really knows me, I didn't write sperm whale on my list and I got him anyway. He just knew I liked them!"
The morning was topped off by church. Can Christmas be on Sunday every year? I loved getting ready and meeting with people I love, singing Christmas carols and listening to talks about the Savior.
Yes, Christmas was pretty great but we missed our families. I missed having them here to share in all the Christmas joy. Thank heavens for technology- we spent most of the day on face time! Maybe next year we will all be together. Kentucky Christmas everyone? :)
