Merry Christmas Everyone!

December 25, 2010, Saturday - Merry Christmas, Everyone! Happy Birthday, Jesus! The kids actually slept until 8am, I grabbed the camera & video camera & then let the kids come downstairs to see if Santa had visited in the night. We tracked his movement last night via NORAD. He was getting close, he was in Canada & the kids had to go straight to bed.
Santa did visit and brought the kids what they had wanted. They also got some goodies in their stockings hung by the fireplace. We had fresh baked cinnamon rolls & enjoyed the morning. Then I started making the sweet potato casserole & getting things ready for a yummy Christmas lunch. Mom, Dad, Cameron and Grandma arrived at 11:40am. We had the table set & sat down to a delicious meal with ham, corn, sweet potato, pistachio salad, raw veggies, & rolls. For dessert we had homemade Chocolate Pecan Pie made by mom, peanut butter balls, peppermint Oreo cookies, & coconut sweets. Yum, Yum!
Then we spent the afternoon opening presents, were entertained by the kids and their puppet play & played the Wii.
What even made the day super special was the snow that started to fall at 1pm while we were at the dinner table. It kept coming down during the day and did not stop. It eventually started to stick to the ground and by night time the kids were able to build forts & have a snowball fight! A white Christmas! What a special day!
