Another great day.  So thankful for Christmas and what it means to us!!!

We went to Melissa and Bruce's at 9.  We had homemade cinnamon rolls that were delicious.  We all opened presents.  The kids were excited and cute.  The kids went first, then Melissa and Bruce, and then me and Bill.  It was cute when Bruce opened the box of Kimmy's and Jared's bowls.  They had asked to buy them for gifts for other people, but when they saw them, they decided to keep the whole set.  Melissa told me this when he was opening them.  They love Kimmy and Jared's bowls. Bill and I got nice John Deere Garden gloves from Hailey. Mine are pink and his are green.  She painted me a little flower pot turquoise with a heart on it and put zinnia seeds in it for next summer.  It's really cute.
She got papa a security wallet.  The boys got me a bar of charcoal soap which was made in Hemlock.
It smells delicious and a very cute snowman glass figurine that lights up and changes color.  They got Bill a travel bag to take on our cruise that opens and hangs up.
We ate an amazing breakfast on their good china after that.  Bruce made scrambled eggs, egg casserole, bacon, sausage, waffles, hash browns, American fries, hash brown paddies, homemade bread, fresh fruit and orange juice.  Everything was delicious and we were stuffed when we were done.  We visited for a while and then headed to Vikki and Rody's.  We had coffee and I ate a couple of cookies there.  It was fun seeing what the kids got for Christmas.  They were excited to show us.
It's Lenny's 3rd Birthday today.  We left there and headed for Kimmy and Jared's.  She invited us to eat with them, but we were too stuffed so they ate while we were on our way.  We loved seeing what they got for Christmas and hearing about how early Adam and Jacob were up (5 a.m.) because they were so excited about their presents.  They even got up during the night to check them out under the tree. We had a wonderful time with them too.  (Bill emptied out their candy kisses from the candy bowl)  He stuffed them in his pocket.  He engraved Eli's name on his ping pong shooter he made him and signed from Papa on it.  We headed home around 4:30.  Got home and watched a Hallmark Movie and then When Calls the Heart Christmas Special.  Another wonderful day with our precious family and lots of love shared once again.  So thankful for Jesus and a family that loves Him so much!
