It is amazing how quickly time passes. I was just getting use to listening to my Christmas music all day. Today is December the 27th and we are quickly losing what is left of 2007.
Our Christmas was very nice. It was unusual for our little family to stay close to home for most of the holiday. We had a lot of family come to us this year, it was different and enjoyable. Having family celebrate here meant a lot of cleaning and cooking, but I had a great helper and the food turned out great.
The Morrison family shared some special time together last Saturday. We had so much fun eating pancakes, singing carols & other songs, listening to the Jesus's birth story, opening gifts, eating some more, playing and going out to eat later that evening. We shared so many sweet moments that day.
The Kirby side of the family gathered together here on Christmas Eve. It was another day of fun with gift giving, soup and pie eating, playing and chatting. Never a dull moment.
I shared previously about our Christmas Eve service. So glad we were in Durham to have that. Christmas morning was really special here at home. At one point, Scott said, "I don't know when I've been more excited about Christmas." He then referred to having four kids on Christmas morning to experience the day with. It was a precious day. We tried to be better about not buying so much for the kids this year. We got them each three gifts and you know what? They didn't even notice they had less.
Yesterday, we headed to King to visit with my mom's side of the family. She had cooked up so many vegan treats for us and a big salad and pot of soup. Her home smelled wonderfully. We enjoyed relaxing there and letting the kids play all around us during meals, playtime and gift giving. Of course, I loved the time spent just being with my family.
Fun was had by all. Now, we are just putting our home back in order and trying to enjoy being home with Scott before he returns to a full schedule in January.
