We had a wonderful Christmas morning. John and I have been blessed with amazingly obedient children (Okay, Jack can't remember to shut the back toor, but it's not that he doesn't WANT to), and Xandri teases her brothers mercilessly, and Asa is silly beyond measure... well, Max isn't obedient, at ALL, but there's still time), and they did rush down to see if Santa had arrived, and when they saw he HAD arrived, they were good sports about waiting for all of us to go down together.
We opened some presents, and then our delightful children allowed us to have a breakfast break! We had wonderful home-made buttermilk pancakes (John doesn't even LIKE pancakes, but they are my and the children's favorite food), bacon, fresh (not from concentrate) orange juice, and Christmas crackers. The kids all wore their cracker crowns (except Max, who wadded his up in a ball immediately).
Now we're off to visit the rest of the family. The gifts are opened, the games have just started.
Merry Christmas to all of you. We love you, and we love spending the day thinking of you and wishing you all the best, only the best, this season.
