Christmas 2014

Every year, on Christmas Eve, we open up the white presents under the tree. They are always P Js. This year Opal and I asked for Christmas nightgowns. On Christmas Eve, we got our wish! Opal, Pella and I got dresses. Mama, the boys and Dada got pants.

That night, we all had a sleep over in the boy's room. I made our beds. In the morning, Grandma and Grandpa were not there yet, so we had to start without them. The Christmas morning schedule then began. First, we all went upstairs with Mama. We meet Dada at the top of the stairs where Dada lights the candles on the cinnamon rolls or cake, and we sing happy birthday to Jesus. Then we all blow out one candle each.

We then all sit on the couch and we take turns reading Luke 2.

 Then we eat the breakfast desert and go over to the stockings. We all open stockings and give Dada hugs and say thank you. Then Grandma and Grandpa open their stockings and so do Mama and Dada. Before we wake up, Dada always puts Nonnie and Poppie on ichat. Then we open presents from under the tree. Eben and Me get one present under the tree for every one. We open the presents one by one. Age order. Then Dodie and Mr. Steave come. And so does cousins. Then we play with our toys and show them to Nonnie and Poppie. (We are eating snacks through the whole day.) That is mainly all of Christmas. Wait! I forgot something. Dada always sets up a scavenger hunt all around the house. This year, we found a Wii and new dishes at the end of the scavenger hunt in the car! Then me and Eben and Jasper played Wii until dinner. Ok, now I am done!
