Christmas Eve John and I both had to work, but we both got off at decent times so we took the kids out to deliver cookies to people they chose to make and deliver cookies to. We went out to dinner, thanks to a co-worker of John's that gave him a gift card, and drove around and looked at Christmas lights. When we got home we sat around the fireplace and Christmas tree, read Christmas Stories and talked about things that we are thankful for.
Christmas morning we were awakened by Mikayla. Not too early though, about 6:45am. I told them the night before that they could not get up any earlier than they do on a school day! They drag to get out of bed on school days. 6:45am is a late wake up day for them. Some days they have to be up by 6:20am and out of the house by 7:10am.
We opened gifts and tinkered with our gifts. John went to take care of the animals and I prepared a salad, jello and a dessert to take to my moms. Christmas afternoon we went to my moms, and had dinner with my family and exchanged gifts.
