Christmas this year was great. On Christmas eve we ate French Bread Pizza's (what else is there?) and then the girls opened their Christmas Eve pajamas. We read the Christmas story by flashlight (I did want to use candles, but I was afraid what the kids might do with them). I wouldn't say they listened the whole time, but I think it being dark helped them to hold still a little longer. We finished up singing Christmas songs while Matt played the guitar.
My girl's said at least 10 times, "This is the best day ever" on Christmas morning. They made these Sunday cute bags for each other.
Lindsay had a great Christmas. We had a hard time getting her to open her presents after she found the candy/food in her stockings.
How Grandma Webb knew to send Santa Buddies I will never know. Mariah had been asking for it every time we went to the store. It was perfect.
We spent the day lounging in front of the fire and putting together puzzles. It was a white Christmas, but too windy and cold to go outside. We then had some friends over for dinner and a game. It was a nice day.
The next day we finally made it outside. Ruth and Lindsay had such a good time, it was one of the few times that Ruthie has been old enough to enjoy going out. We went sledding and took a walk around our neighborhood.
We haven't gotten much snow since Christmas, but we did get to play in it all week. We made a snow man in our front yard. After I had gone inside with the girls Matt added his own touches. It is so cold around here we will probably have them in our front yard the whole month of January (or at least a week or two).
