We had our Bagna Caulda night - John and Melissa and family were able to make it and we had a fun evening eating, playing games and chatting! Some of them even tried the Bagna Caulda, but at least the kids and I enjoy it!
Tuesday we mostly spent hanging out and playing and getting excited about Christmas!
Wednesday, we met up with Sandi and the kids at a park near her house. There was a playground, soccer fields, an obstacle course, and a garden! We all had a fun time playing and hanging out together. David had an encounter with the mud and wasn't happy, but thankfully Sandi had some old clothes from Taz that were being given away, and we managed to make some work for David, so we could keep playing. Every prayer after that morning included David praying about seeing Aunt Sandi and playing with Aunt Sandi and going to the park with Aunt Sandi!
Thursday was Christmas Eve. The kids decorated gingerbread houses and had a fun time decorating and of course eating the candy
In the evening, we read the Christmas story in Luke and talked about Christmas and the reason we celebrate, and followed that with the usual Christmas Eve presents. The kids all seemed to like their pajamas, and then we sent them to bed to get everything set up.
At around 8:30 in the morning, we all got up and headed down to open presents. We started with stockings and then had breakfast, then we had a zoom call with Grandma and Grandpa Jones while we opened their presents. Then we had a zoom call with Grandma and Grandpa Cox and Sandi and Jon's family. At which point we just let them have at it until all that was left was paper and boxes. :)
Christmas night, we headed to John and Melissa's house for dinner and games. We had a fun evening together and ate yummy food and hung out with cousins and it was wonderful!
Saturday was a relaxed day - we spent it playing and cleaning and having fun together. We built legos, vex toys, 3D puzzles of the Harry Potter world, race car tracks, and we had a great time! In the evening, Eileen and Dan and I watched Wonder Woman 1984 on the new TV before heading to bed. :)
