Christmas was even more special than normal this year. My sister and her family came from Memphis as well as my mom. We knew that we would not be able to have this happen again for a long time since my brother-in-law is being stationed in Washington. My mother went above and beyond with all of the gifts and the kids were in awe. It also snowed the day after Christmas, so they were all able to play outside together. Together, that's all they wanted! Since Eden was so young and I was exhausted, my mother and sister really handled all of the food preparations. Thank God! I hosted Christmas, but they did all the work!
We waited to open our gifts from Santa until after everyone left. We let the kids know that Santa did deliver them on Christmas Eve, but he emailed us to tell us where he would hide the gifts. It was a blessed Christmas to say the least!
