Christmas Day fell on Sunday this year...and it was perfect.We had church at 1:00 where we had a beautiful choir/musical Christmas program and I enjoyed singing in the choir and leading the Primary children in their performance also. It was nice to remember the birth of our Savior on the Sabbath Day and to give honor and praise to Him who's birthday we celebrated.
After church, we gathered here at our home for the opening of gifts. it was all about Preston really...as it should be. Del and I gave him a red wagon and it was the hit of the day. He was in and out of that wagon the rest of the afternoon and pulled it everywhere he went. He also got blocks and a shopping cart, plus shoes, cowboy boots, snow boots and slippers. It was so fun to watch his face.
All the girls got sweaters and scarfs..body sprays, lotions, facial and hair accessories and fun stuff. The boys got shirts and Cd's - gift cards and I gave Del a really nice camp stove. From Del and me, we gave each of the kids a first aid kit, electric blanket and inverter for their emergency kits...non exciting gifts, but necessary.
Del made each of us girls a beautiful jewelry box...gorgeous with delicate details and beautiful wood and staining. I will blog about that next though.
Mike and Kylie gave me a home music/stereo system to have in the kitchen, plus a Green Bay Packer shirt...Del and I also got BYU shirts from Sean and Becky. Del got 2 pair of nice shoes from Mike and Kylie...
Needless to say, Christmas was beyond wonderful. Not with just the gifts but the special love and spirit that we felt as a family and for each other.
it was tender and a very special day.
Merry Christmas...
and God Bless Us Everyone.
