The kids woke up bright and early as usual on Christmas morning. But we did something a little different this time. I had each of them open one gift while the others watched. It prolonged it a little bit and made the gifts more meaningful. Then we had a rushed breakfast and ran off to 9 am church. I played two songs in sacrament meeting-one on my violin and one as an accompaniment to a group of singers. Oh, and we woke up to snow on Christmas morning!
The kids got two of the little go-carts from Grandpa and Grandma Bell. Lincoln thought one was just for him. :)
I think everyone was super happy with what they got. After church I made some rolls, crockpot brown sugar carrots and we headed off to dinner later to some friends from our ward house.
I always hate to see Christmas go. I love the season of giving where everyone is more patient and cheerful and kind. December always flies by!
