Christmas Weekend
This weekend after Hadley finished school on friday the 23rd we had another full weekend of celebrating Christmas.
On Christmas morning we celebrated at home with a wonderful breakfast including apple turnovers. Then snack-able food all day only to enjoy a full turkey dinner with all the fixings for dinner. Brian's mom and sister joined us at our house and we loved having them.
There were many phone and facetime calls to those who were in other places and the day felt full.
There were MANY presents and it was so much fun to watch the kids with their stockings, and present opening, and playing.
I got the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game and we played until late in the night. Good fun! Similar to the old one I knew as a kid but all different. :)
I loved playing with Hadley. (And everyone else).
My favorite gift was one made by Hadley at school. It was a calendar and each month had different things made by her hands dipped in paint. (I had happy tears). I LOVE THIS!
The next day was a celebration with the Verkley's at Brian's cousin Amy's in London. Santa made his usual appearance and Hadley said something to the effect of " can you believe it, Santa came to visit two times"!
Then a final Christmas celebration was at Brian's dad's. We again enjoyed some gift exchanges including a photo book of our Africa trip. (What a big job to put that together)!
Then there was food and good conversation. Hadley played a lot with the cat and Easton found the stairs.
The night ended with a beautiful snowfall and a long drive home. :)
