Christmas time is the best! Instead of breaking them all up into difference posts, I am going to make 1 really big Christmas post with all things Christmas that we did this month.
First up... our visit with Santa!! We love going to the Bass Pro in Palm Bay. It's far less crowded. It is also right next to a really nice shopping center where we have started doing our Christmas shopping for one another. It's always a really fun night!
I loved having Christmas Eve on a Sunday. Our Christmas program was wonderful. What are the odds that we all picked a Christmas tree pin to wear?
Some leisure Sunday afternoon gaming before we go to Grandma's for our Christmas Eve dinner!
We made it to Grandma's! Dinner and dessert were so delicious, as always. We love our tradition with her and opening gifts afterwards. It's also become a tradition that Benny selects the same green ladle from his school's Santa Shop to buy for Grandma every year. 😂
When we get home from Grandma's it's always a little hustle and bustle, taking our Christmas tree jammie pic, and reading Luke 2 and setting out the plate for Santa and saying our goodbyes to Christopher Popinkins. We couldn't take the picture until we found Rosco and we just could not find that dog anywhere!! We decided to check with our neighbors and, sure enough, Rosco was over at their house. They had given him his Christmas gift (a sweater that said "spoiled") and sent us these pictures of him just lounging on top of their couch!! They said "our door is open, he can go home at anytime." Almost taunting us that he'd rather be with them than us (sadly, this might be true!) They are the cutest couple with no children and 2 dogs of their own and they love Rosco as much as we do! We are lucky he has a home away from home!
We finally got him back! Such a cutie in his sweater!
Daniel, getting his chair ready for the gift distribution in the morning!
Santa came again this year! He ate all his treats and the reindeer got their treats. He always gathers the baby Jesus's from our nativities and reminds us why he comes and brings us gifts... to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
All of us on the bed together Christmas morning before the big reveal!
The rest is on videos. We had to pause our gift opening to have creamed shrimp on toast at the Haughts.. I caught this cute pic of Jackson and Harry.
It was a great day for the greatest reason! Happy Birthday Jesus!
