Another wonderful Christmas day has come to pass, and now we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus! Otherwise known to the kids as the best birthday party ever, where we get the presents. I guess it'shad for most kids to grasp the true meaning when Santa and presents and wish lists are everywhere. We celebrated with family, so hopefully some more meaning came to the weekend.
When school ended we headed to Nashville to visit Wayne's family. I have been very lax with the camera lately so the photos presented do not adequately represent the joy of the week. Here is Miles with cousin Evan at our Christmas dinner Friday night.
Later that evening we exchanged gifts with Yaya and B. Audrey was ecstatic to open her very own Justin "Beaver" CD.
And Miles got lots of cool things, including great books. He has jumped the hurdle and has started working through some chapter books, so we're keeping him full of reading material.
Here's where the poor photography implementation occurs. We were joined Christmas Eve by Mimi and PawPaw for Mass and dinner out, but I forgot my camera. Then Christmas morning I took a few shots then set it down and forgot. I guess the better way of saying it, is "I enjoyed myself!" but I regret that we don't have a family picture for Christmas. Oh well. Miles woke about 6:15 and we had to wake Audrey around 7. Both were happy that Santa heard their requests and got them much of what they requested.
Miles was thrilled to say he got four guns: a Boba Fett Blaster, 2 nerf dart guns and a wooden gun with a hammer/trigger mechanism. He also got the much desired Indiana Jones Legos from Yaya and B.
And Audrey got a new baby! She is as yet unnamed, but will probably be christened "Audrey" in a few days.
Even without the photographic evidence, we had a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much to Mimi & PawPaw for driving over the river and through the woods to see us. Merry Christmas to all!
