We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Brian's new job allows him more time off at Christmas, and so he was able to enjoy all of the seasonal activities with us this year. It was so nice to have him at home. Of course, we attended all of the holiday church services. We were there for the lighting of every advent candle, and we attended the evening service on Christmas Eve. As a matter of fact, Olivia and Owen had a special part in the adult choir's Christmas cantata. My heart always swells with pride when I see my kids being active in the ministries of the church, and I was especially proud of them on this night.
We had our Christmas at my parents' house on Christmas Eve eve. We tried to get a picture of all the kids in front of the tree, but not all were cooperative. The kids were happy to have their cousins around. It's sweet how the older cousins all look after the younger ones. We had such a good time and received so many nice things.
Santa came to our house this year and brought many nice things for the kids. The kids' big gift was a field for their robot. It was a little bigger than I thought it would be. We're going to have to find a place for it. Later in the morning, we opened our family gifts. The kids received new television sets for their rooms from Brian and I.
We had lunch at Granny Buie's house. It was a house full, but it was great. After lunch we rode out to see Bailey's new house. It was a great (and exhausting) day.
