Christmas was a nice day! We had Gary, Kaitlyn, Haivyn and Merik stay overnight with us after our family Christmas Eve festivities. We got up a little before 8 am and watched the kids open up their gifts.
Haivyn and Merik got a lot of fidgets. That was the first thing on their list. We then took time to open our gifts for each other. Kaitlyn got a new coat, and a sweater, and some new leggings. Gary got some new vans, t-shirts, henleys, and drumsticks. Rick and I got each other a bidet! We had to laugh about that! Now we have two. One in the master bath and one on the main level bath.
These are the only pictures of the day....mostly of the kids.
I was able to get an egg and sausage casserole put together before we went to bed on Christmas Eve so that morning I got it right into the oven. It worked out perfectly for the kids to eat after presents. Rick and I went to our Sunday meetings a little early to get there for Choir practice. We sang 'When Joseph Went to Bethlehem/Mary's Lulluby', 'O Come, O come Emmanuel', and 'Guard Him, Joseph'. It was a beautiful meeting with two wonderful speakers talking of the importance of the Savior's life and the availability of repentance. The bishop finished up with a beautiful Christmas message and his love for the ward members. There were a lot of members that had family attend with them.
We headed home to some brunch that we didn't get earlier and then enjoyed a nap:) That evening we had a nice Christmas meal with the six of us. Ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, pomegranate salad, and bread. Gary left just after dinner and Kaitlyn stayed until about 8:00. It was a nice full day.
