We had wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations this year. For Christmas Eve, we went over to my parents for a delicious steak and chicken dinner. The kids all received their traditional Christmas pajamas, and the dogs were even included in the pajama tradition this year! Then we went to an inspiring candlelight Christmas Eve service at Village. The kids slept in until 7:20, and then came downstairs to open their stockings. We invited Mom and Dad over for cinnamon rolls, and they enjoyed watching Conner and McKenzie open their new iPhones that they gave them for Christmas as well as watching Kelsey open her jacket and shoes that she really wanted. Conner was more than surprised to get a phone, and McKenzie had a look of shock on her face when she saw that he got one (little did she know that she would be getting one, too :). We spent Christmas Day relaxing at home. Kelsey and I took a little walk together, and she and I tried out her new popcorn popper by making popcorn before lunch :). For our family celebration on Christmas night, we did something new this year - we all went bowling! Amy was most improved by going from a score in the 60's to getting the top score the next game of over 150! Jim suspects that she has been sneaking away to the bowling alley when the kids are at school :). After bowling we all went back to my parents' house for a hamburger and hotdog barbecue! As Paula Dean says on her cooking shows, she could eat hot dogs for Christmas as long as she is surrounded by family! Family really is all that matters, and I definitely felt that this Christmas.
