Happy Christmas!

We are not having a 'white' Christmas- we are having a WHITEOUT Christmas. I am glad we have no where to go and can stay inside and just be together!

Leith was so excited about a gift that he tackled Niall to say thanks!

Grandma Allred sent a huge present!

The girls both made some of their presents-these are some of the many hats India made for family and friends. Once she started, everyone seemed to want one. She finished the last one just before midnight! Coral made me a CD of radio tunes that we enjoy while driving to school. She included 'Love Lockdown' by Kanye West. It sticks in my mind like 'Small World'. I am not sure if I like it or if I just can't get it out of my head. The whole CD is fun and has a photo of Coral and me at the beach on the front.

I LOVE my children on Christmas Day. They were all so anxious to pass out the presents they made or bought for each other. Only after that did we move on to their gifts. They were all so animated in their sincere excitement and gratitude for everything they received. It is really sweet to be with them on Christmas morning.
