Wow, Christmas is over????
On Christmas Eve, we spent the evening at John's mom's house. The kids performed the annual nativity. As usual, Easton was not very into it...I had to be Mary's nanny to get him to stay. Coleton was a great Shepard, and Hailey took her job as an angel very seriously.
On Christmas morning, Hailey woke up at 5:00. We made her wait until 6:30 to wake up the boys..I am sure it was the longest morning of her life. The kids made a haul. Easton actually got into the present opening action.
We ended up not visiting our Grandmas this year on Christmas day, the first time in my life, but it took us way too long to dig out with all of the snow we received.
We did make it to John's mom's and then to my parents.
At the Jensen party on Christmas night, the kids got to play Away in a Manger with the bells at one of my mom's friends houses. She is sick with cancer. The kids loved it. Then, we went back to grandmas and my parents had made everyone marshmallow guns. Oh the mess....but it was fun. Easton just walked around and ate all of the marshmallows off of the floor. Hailey would have nothing to do with it, and Coleton loved it!
We had a great Christmas! My favorite part was on Tuesday night before Christmas. Our little family had an evening dedicated to Jesus. We talked about the nativity story and I know that the kids felt the spirit, that made my whole Christmas!
