Christmas at Home

We had our own Christmas with just us. That's only the second time we've ever done that. On Christmas eve, we frosted cookies for Santa and acted out the nativity. Bob and I were Mary and Joseph, Seth was baby Jesus. Rachel was the angel, Danny was a wise man and Aaron was a Shepherd.
And then the kids opened one present. They all draw names among themselves and they get to go shopping for the person with me sometime in December. They were all very thoughtful about what they got each other and those presents were some of the favorites for each of the kids.

Danny came in at 5:50 Christmas morning, but we held them off until 6:20. Bob and I had fun listening to the kid's excited whispers while they waited. We opened presents for about a half hour and then we woke up Seth so he could see his presents. The kids all got scooters and skateboards so we've been out riding those quite a bit. They got a few new Wii games and board games and other toys. The kids also got snow sleds and snow gear to start going to the snow.
