Christmas 2016
We had a very nice and a very white Christmas this year. The Bauers joined us for Christmas Eve dinner and games and Nativity. Avery and Daphne were Wise Men, among other roles, hence their awesome mustaches.
Christmas morning Santa brought the kids piles of goodies with their stockings that they enjoyed before church. Then we all got ready and went to 9am church that was only an hour. I LOVED having Christmas morning church with music and inspirational talks about the true meaning of the holiday. I wish it were this way every year!
After church, they opened gifts. Eric got a painting from one of his truckers who lives in Arizona, which was really sweet. Eric is so helpful putting toys together. Tate was, too, as he helped Henry put together his new car track. I was curious how Henry would handle Finley getting her own ride-on Thomas train, since Henry is our resident train obsessed person. But since Henry doesn't share his Henry-mobile with baby, and Santa found this used toy for a steal, it was Finley's gift. Anyway, Henry has been doing awesome with his sharing.
It's been a week since the big day, and it continues to snow. Maybe one day I'll learn to love winter. But with 4 small children home for the week with cabin fever, I am REALLY looking forward to spring and summer!
