Christmas was a little different this year. Usually, we do Christmas Eve with my parents and sisters family and then Christmas Day with my family again and then on to Preston's.
This year, we started with Christmas Eve at my parents church. It was a nice service and now that Presley is starting to understand the real meaning of Christmas, I want to make sure that we make that the focus of the holiday. After the service, we went over to my parents house so that the kids could open gifts. We did this because my nephew had strep throat Christmas week and I just couldn't chance the kids catching it.
It was a fun year with Presley because she knew exactly what she wanted and we knew she would be super excited to get the gifts. She appreciated every gift that she got by saying "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it!". That makes you want to keep giving to her. So, my parents got her a new scooter this year and she is IN LOVE with it. I was contemplating getting her one, but we got her a bike this year so I held back. Well, I think she likes the scooter more. WHATEVER PRESLEY!
Christmas morning was a dream. To have both of our kids wake up and get to see the presents under the tree...to have big sister get to help little brother open his gifts...It was so fun to watch.
Presley got her much talked about Fur Real Penguin named "Diggaly"....I had said she was not getting anymore penguins but if she wouldn't have gotten this penguin from Santa, I think that she would have stopped believing!!! HA!
I spent most of the day baking. Made an Caramel Apple Pie and Ooey Goey Butter Cookies to take to Jenni's house. We spent the rest of our Christmas over there with all of Preston's family and we had a blast.
This Christmas was definitely one to be remembered!
