We had a very memorable Christmas this year. We had a new added tradition put in motion this year. I know that we will do it again. We had what I call "Mom's Dirty Rotten Christmas"! There was a lot of gifts under the tree with no names on them big ones, small ones, hard ones and soft squishy ones! Everyone took turns opening one gift of their choice. The catch was that you could either choose from the pile or steal from someone else and then they choose from the pile. It was hilarious! Donovan continually opened little girl pink stuff and Audrey continually opened boy things! Shauna, Audry and Donovan all stole from each other and laughed until everyone's sides hurt.
Christmas Dinner was wonderful too! I worked hard the day before as to not have to work too hard on Christmas day yet was able to enjoy eating as if I had. Shauna made origami flowers for each place setting and the table was very beautiful. We had set one extra place setting and we told the kids that we were having Christ dine with us and we all took turns talking about that beautiful day when the Christ child was born.
