Well, Christmas has come and gone. We survived :-) It seemed like a blur of activities, traveling, planning, wrapping. opening, cooking, singing and fun this year. It definitely left no time for blogging, but I'll fill you in now since the new year has slowed our pace a little.
On our Christmas Eve (the week before Christmas) We went Downtown PC to enjoy some of the sights and fun activities.
A favorite of the kids is ice skating. They have fun Christmas music playing and even a snow machine. It really gets us in the mood for Christmas even though the temperatures here are still warm and muggy.
The kids also look forward to the horse rides each year. Meg had a good time, I think....She rode the pony and Maddie and Sam rode the big horses. There are also carolers to listen too and we got some yummy kettle corn. The kids saw Santa in the downtown antique store and gave him their special requests.
Then we all headed home so the kids could open one present on Christmas Eve. They all got new pajamas and got dressed so Daddy could read a special Christmas book about Love Coming Down at Christmas.
There was a lot of excitement, but they finally fell asleep and stockings were filled,
presents were placed and one tired mom and dad fell into bed!
Early in the morning excitement broke out as gifts were found and opened.
Even underwear is exciting on Christmas Day!
Maddie got a horse for her American Girl dolls.
Megan got a two wheeled bike.
Later that morning we all headed out to St. Andrews Park to participate in the Reindeer Race 5 k and 1 mile run. It was a lot of fun even though we got caught in a rain storm....the kids actually thought that made it more fun!
We spent the rest of the day playing games, riding bikes, and watching new movies. So blessed to be able to have a special Christmas with these sweet kiddos!
