MeRrY ChRiStMaS!
It looks like Santa Claus payed our house a visit.......again. Back story: Santa Claus came and visited us in June and took us to Disneyland Paris for our Christmas. This time Santa Claus simply came and filled our stockings, but all of the other gifts were from Grandparents. The kids were both well pleased that Santa seemed to remember Goldie our pet goldfish.
A half eaten cookie, half a glass of milk, and nibbled veggies are evidence that Santa and the Reindeer have left with a full tummy.
Santa has always left a trail of sugar plums leading from our bedrooms to where he has placed the gifts. The kids get very excited about the trail of sugar plums.

Someone is a happy boy :)
Big sister jetted straight into the family room where the gifts were waiting.
The kids hurried and open their gifts and then we had to get dressed and hurry off to our Church services. Nothing speaks Christmas to me like going to church and learning about the man to whom we owe the honour of this day of celebration, Jesus Christ.
After church we went to Hugh and Mary's home for a real traditional English Christmas dinner, and boy was it great. Hugh and Mary had a Thomas the train gift for Will and a Bracelet making kit for Ads.

A very tired and somewhat glad Christmas is over Mom. It has been a wonderful Holiday, but I am beat and ready for business as usual.
I am super grateful for my family and Hubby for making a wonderful Christmas possible for our family. We are continually blessed and I am so very touched and humbled by the many thoughtful gifts and actions shown by our family. It was so much fun skyping with everyone today from Texas, to New York, to Utah and made our holiday complete. Happy New Year.
