CHRISTMAS #1 with OPA and OMA

Jeff: “Most of the time it doesn’t feel like we have a lot of kids but every time I see our stockings I think wow, we do have a bunch of kids.”
Christmas Eve day my family came from Abilene.  We went to a Christmas Eve service together and then came home and opened stockings.  We ate hamburgers and played games.  We watched The Nativity Story and toasted cider at midnight. 

Christmas morning Tyler and Micah made us sausage and chocolate chip crepes with a cream cheese filling and fruit on top.
We opened under the tree gifts.
We sang Christmas carols and we read the Christmas story from Bible.
We had a big lunch of ham and lots of sides and we finished our advent reading.
We had (and have had) lots of desserts – candies, iced cookies, pies, candy canes, and cakes.
We played games, did puzzles, built new Lego sets, and some of us went to see the movie Unbroken that night. 












 And we waited for a baby to be born…I was 39 weeks on December 25th...but we will hae to wait some more...
