Christmas day!

Sorry I haven't had a post in a long time. I have just been super busy with Christmas and Florida. First, I'm going to tell you about Christmas. On Christmas eve we went out to dinner. (I think it was Ruby Tuesdays.) After that we went to our Christmas eve service at Gateway Christian Church. There, Logan started walking long distances without his walker for the first time! My mom declared it was a Christmas miracle! After the wonderful service we went home and opened presents from, and to each other. I received S'mores duct tape, and a magic trick book. Luke received a star wars hat, and a star wars calendar. Lexi received a Cinderella game, and a Sophia the First flipeez hat. My mom received an egg chap stick, a scarf, a new phone case, a bracelet and a sugar scrub. My dad received a beer holder, (I really don't know what they're called ;) and a multi tool. Logan was given a football, a monster flipeez hat and play dough. After we opened family presents we watched Christmas Vacation, a family classic. We set out cookies and milk for Santa Clause, and then headed up to bed. The next morning we all woke up really early and dashed to my mom and dad's room. Traditionally we read the story of baby Jesus. Once we finished talking and reading about the importance of Christmas we took the steps two at a time and sat down in front of our pile of presents. First we opened the presents in our stocking from our parents. Inside the stocking we had things like gum, tic tacs, pencils, little notebooks....etc. At the toe of every stocking was a piece of wrapping paper. The wrapping paper from the stocking matched the design of the wrapping paper from one of the pile of presents. Whichever one matched meant it was their pile.( I hope that makes sense) Each year for Christmas every kid gets three presents. A need, a want, and a surprise. Luke got a drum set, a cool game called Rock Band, and star wars stuff. (earlier in the month he got tickets to see Star Wars seven, that was part of his surprise) Lexi got some dollhouse guys, some clothes and an American Girl Doll. (She got tickets earlier in the month to go see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks, that was part of her surprise) I got a your story machine, you can make your own books with it. I also got 100 amazing paper animal snowflakes, which is exactly what I wanted. I got another cutting book which is really cool too! I also got a note saying I get to go to a cooking class and learn how to bake macaroons! Also and American Girl Doll movie and book. I also got a Wicked t-shirt, Wicked socks, an new water bottle and a Wicked pillow case. ( I got tickets to see Wicked earlier in the month, that was part of my surprise.) After presents we watched home alone, and just pretty much played the rest of the day. I had an awesome Christmas and I hope everyone else did too.  - Lora
