Christmas

Merry Christmas! We hope you all had a great Christmas holiday. We certainly did. On Christmas Eve, we had a get-together with several other families in our area. Every family brought a different soup and dessert and it turned out very well. The kids played while the adults chatted. We then went home, where our kids opened one present: a new set of pajamas. We read the story of the birth of Christ in Luke 2 and then the kids went to bed.
On Christmas morning, Allie woke up at 4am. Luckily, Kerrie convinced her to go back to bed. At 7:30, we all went out to see whether Santa had brought gifts for the family. Here’s a video of the moment and of the kids playing with their new toys:
That afternoon, we had our family’s traditional Christmas dinner, lasagna with meatballs and Italian sausage. My cousin, Matt and his wife Amanda, dined with us and we had a great time.
