Christmas Morning

So we had a quiet Christmas morning here at home. But it really began Christmas Eve, the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there. The children were tucked all snugly in bed, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. (OK...so our only child actually fell asleep on the couch watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but that didn't sound as good as my entrance to this post.) But anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We went to the children's service at church, and Cassidy really enjoyed herself. We baked cookies, finished wrapping gifts, and made sure that everything was ready for Old St. Nick.






Once that was done and the evening was upon us, we started watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Or at least we tried, we had a bad storm blow threw and knocked out power at the house for a while. After calling the the power company a couple of different times, we finally had our power restored. For a minute Mike was afraid he was going to have to pull out the generator. (I really didn't want a repeat of Hurricane Ike. Two weeks without power was long enough!). Anyway, the power came back on, we finished almost all of the movie, and our little angel fell asleep. Luckily for us, it was about 8:30 when she fell asleep, so Santa was able to come before 10:00 that night.



Anyway, back to Christmas morning, I awoke before anyone in the house. I went into the living room, turned on the Christmas lights, and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The lights twinkled on the tree, and it was absolutely beautiful. Finally, a little before 8:00, Cassidy and Mike woke up, and that is when the fun began...I don't want to bore you with a lot of description in words, (since I just did that), so I thought I would share it in pictures!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!





Merry Christmas!
Until next post!
