We sure are blessed.
Our house looked like Christmas through up all over it… in a good
way. Christmas Eve we went to Nana and
Papas with my moms side of the family.
Avery was so excited to see cousin Layton and Cara is getting big
too. It’s crazy to think that these two
are only 9 months apart. Kennedy sure
trumps Cara!
The next morning, the girls slept in as usual and by about
830, we made our way down to see what Santa had brought them. All Kennedy asked for was toys, and Avery
wanted Pasqual from Rapunzel… needless to say Santa got off easy!
We took a break from gifts and had a little breakfast and
the girls played with the toys that they got from Christmas Eve and boy were
they happy. I thought about hiding all
their gifts for next year because they were so happy with what they already
had! When Uncle Grant and Aunt Christi (and Lily) got there, we opened up the
rest of the presents… which took quite some time because we had so many things
to open. Kennedy is really into the
present opening and is quite good at it too.
She loved her baby doll and stroller and Avery loved all her toys and
really has been playing with all of them.
Auntie Pam and Lee came over and we had a really nice time
with them. We had our annual Cuatros
meal and it was as delicious as ever. I
love that we have been doing that tradition for so long and I really hope that
we can continue this tradition for many years to come.
My goal next year is to find a family that we can sponsor
and be involved with so that we can buy gifts for them and have Avery and
Kennedy actually meet the people that we are blessing. I want them to see how important it is to
help others especially around Christmas.
I am thankful again for an amazing Christmas and for gifts I don’t need
but like, a roof over our head, healthy children, and loving family to share it
with. And most importantly, for the true
meaning of why we celebrate Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
