Christmas for me is always a difficult holiday to experience. Not because of Christmas itself, but because it just gets too busy for me to enjoy the holiday experience. This year I tried to scale way back (as far as the gifting went) and tried to enjoy the holiday season....stress-free. Ummmm I think it went much better!
Lucky for me all my kids were in town this year to spend some of Christmas with us. Amy and Scot spent the night on Christmas Eve to add a little "kid" touch to Christmas morning. Kevin was happy with that....meaning he wasn't stuck with just Mom and Dad on Christmas morning! Boring! Although I don't believe Kevin will complain about his Christmas this year. I must say it was really fun having Zack and Livy here on Christmas morning. Just to watch the crazy excitement on Zack's face on Christmas morning.
Santa and his Reindeer ate all our goodies we set out!
Zack was thrilled and excited!
Two Happy Little Boys!
We all had Christmas Eve dinner together. I think that is my favorite time. Food and conversation. Really just chaos at times! The sweetest after-dinner-activity was seeing the grandkids dressed up in Nativity costume and going through the story of Christ's birth. They are just priceless! They all want to participate and sing. We also had some talent from the grandkids this year....piano, singing and Kevin on the guitar.
As I sat back and watched I was very aware of time passing quickly...meaning my grandkids are growing up fast right before my eyes! A little emotional for me, I might add.... I don't want to miss a minute of their sweet little personalities, and their talents and abilities. They are all so different. I love them all! I am a little envious that I don't have little ones anymore. They bring such a fun, magical feeling at Christmas time. It's all about the kids!

We spent Christmas afternoon eating, opening gifts and enjoying the outdoor weather with the kids and grandkids. Perfect....sunny and a bit cool. No "White Christmas" here!
All the granddaughters have "American Dolls" now. Little Lucy wanted one so badly....I hope she was surprised and happy.
