Christmas morning, Kimmy, Jared and the boys arrived first. We got lots of hugs and Christmas greetings. Soon after Vikki, Rody, Kenzie, Peyton, and Isaac came. More hugs and greetings. Then Melissa, Bruce, Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan arrived. We snacked on goodies and then Bill read the Christmas story from the Bible and the grandkids put the nativity together as he read the parts. So precious to hear and see this. Kenzie had to drive to school for wrestling practice. We opened gifts, starting with the kids first and then the adults. The kids were so fun to watch and so excited! Then Papa and I got to open the gifts Jacob and Adam got us when they did their shopping. I got a beautiful flower holder from Jacob and a glow stick from Adam. Papa got a cute ruler from Adam and Jacob got him a cool ice fishing pole. He opened Hailey's next. She had shopped by herself too at her school and she got Papa a tape measure that said, "Caution, Grandpa at work". So sweet and special! We are blessed with our grandchildren. So happy they could shop by themselves and surprise us. Their personalities sure came through with their gifts. After the grandkids, The girls and their hubbies opened their gifts. Then is was Bill and my turn. We all got such nice gifts and the person who got the gift was as happy as the one receiving the gift. Such a loving, caring family! So thankful to God for His greatest Gift of Jesus, a beautiful family and beautiful celebration of the birth of Jesus. On Christmas Day, we started our day out by going to Melissa and Bruce's for Christmas at their house. The kids opened their presents and then they gave papa and I ours and their mom and dad the presents they had shopped for. So fun to see what they got us. Max got me a mug full of candy and organic tea, Hailey got me a beautiful cutting board with a beautiful saying about a recipe for kindness on it, and Jack got me a pretty little stuffed bear. Hailey got Papa a orange and black Harley Davison Pocket Calendar, Max got him a nice pair of work gloves, and Jack got him a cute stuffed animal. After gift opening we got to eat the goodies Bruce made...homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. We also ate chocolate peanut butter balls and peanut brittle that Hailey helped make. After that we went to visit Vikki, Rody, Kenzie, Peyton and Isaac. So fun to see all the toys the twins got and watch them play. Kenzie gave me a cute rainbow colored friendship bracelet she made. Had yummy coffee and tried out Vikki's electric throw. Loved it! It was so warm and soft. After that we headed home and got some turkey, dressing and rolls and headed to Kimmy and Jared's. They had invited us to eat. They had delicious ham, mashed potatoes, corn, plus the stuff we brought. Ate too much again! Later we had Jared's homemade banana bread. Yum Yum! So fun watching the boys play with their legos. I could have sat there all day and watched them. Amazing legos these days! We headed home before dark and watched a couple of Christian movies and relaxed for the evening. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANK YOU JESUS!
