We've had a lovely Christmas. The past few years we've had our Christmas at home with just our little family. This year was another wonderful Christmas of a blend of eating good food, enjoying each other, and plenty of laying around. It is what we always need and anything goes. And today it involved plenty of Christmas movies. Funny side note-Hampton saw Ralphie from A Christmas Story today and said, "Look! It's Hampy!" Even he sees the resemblance. Such a fun day.
This year the boys got Annies fruit snacks and granola bars, a box of crayons, Hershey kisses, and M and Ms in their stockings. They loved it.
For breakfast we enjoyed sweet rolls and pigs in a blanket. Yum!
And each child got a new book. Everett got a new Bernstein Bear book, Hampton got Little Blue Truck Goes to the City, and Eleanor got an Eloise Wilkin storybook.
After breakfast the children opened their presents. The boys' big present this year was a new train table with trains. They loved it! Everett got a new board game, a puzzle, and a stamp set. Hampton got a peg board and a few puzzles as well. Eleanor received a baby carriage and some stacking letter blocks.
The boys have been playing with their new table non-stop. It was a hit!
We spent the rest of the day watching movies and playing with toys. After dinner we had a chocolate chip pound cake and sang "Happy Birthday Jesus." It was a fantastic day.
