Here’s a look at how our day unfolded, gently and peacefully. We were in no hurry to rush through things. The kitchen smelled good, the stockings were filled, and we were together.
After the stockings and sticky buns, we moved into the living room.
The gifts this year were thoughtful and fun. The kids brought their gifts to each other and to us to our home to open here.
John got a sound bar for the TV (to make it louder)! and I got a new home scanner for my family history work.
Aaron and Abbey surprised John with a really fun gift:
And John shocked me with a gift hiding on the front porch–an eBike!
We spent the rest of the day at home, relaxing, working on the puzzle and preparing a simple ham dinner for this evening.
Caleb had a few more things to open.
We are grateful for our family. We are grateful for Jesus Christ. We are grateful for His gifts to us and for our gifts to each other. Merry Christmas, Everyone!
