The sun is shining in the windows and the cinnamon buns are cooking in the oven. It is Christmas! Cassie and Jay wake up happy. It is going to be a good day. After eating some yummy cinnamon buns (that turned out okay even with no brown sugar), we gave our gifts to Jesus- Cassie did a dance, and then we talked about the angels that appeared the day that Jesus was born. Then it was present time. Cassie opened up Barbie Bride (for the wedding obsessed girl) and Jay opened up a Hot Wheels Boat (for the transportation obsessed). Then they got one gift to share – a game of memory with cards from the movie Cars (which is the new favorite in the house!- not Cars 2 just the first movie, they haven’t seen number 2 yet).
It is always hard to be away from extended family on Christmas day, but we are thankful for our little growing family. Hard to believe next year we will have three kids on Christmas morning.
Merry Christmas everyone!
