We had a wonderful relaxed Christmas at home this year. On Christmas Eve, we went to a service at Redeemer Community Church. Then we came home, had a snack supper, sang around the piano, hung stockings, and then watched "It's a Wonderful Life" together. Here are our annual stocking photos:
Another Christmas Even tradition at our house is sleeping in a tent (just the kids, not the adults). The tent is built utilizing almost every extra quilt and blanket in the house and several chairs, poles, and clothespins. Here is Noah getting ready to go to sleep and have those visions of sugar plums dancing in his head:
The next morning, we looked in stockings, had some sharing time, and opened gifts.
We were so relaxed that we didn't eat our huge Christmas breakfast until after lunch:
We spent the day putting together Lego, playing games, working puzzles, reading, napping in front of the fire, and feasting! I kept my pajamas on almost all day.
One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. ~Andy Rooney
