Christmas Day

The day began earlier than usual. Jess was up about 7:30 waiting to go downstairs. She had the hallway light on and was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for us to move the gate so we could come downstairs.

Lois was to arrive by 8:30 and we just couldn't keep Jessie that long without opening presents, so we let her open her stocking gifts from Santa (he only fills stockings for adults - no presents). 

She was more than ready to open presents when Lois arrived.

Jon and his stocking presents.

Me and my stocking.

Lois and her flashing necklace.

Jess definitely got her "ten presents".

Breakfast.

After breakfast we face timed Diane and Randie while we opened their presents that they dropped off on Wednesday and they opened ours. It went better than I expected and was fun.

Santa brought us some DVD's so after a nice Christmas dinner Lois, Jon and I watched MULAN. It was really good.

Ruth picked up Lois around 5:30 and Jon went back to his iPad and Jess on hers and I on mine!

We just didn't do anything else. For one, I was just too tired.

I'm having trouble getting these pictures the right size and the text next to them. It doesn't want to do what I want. Anyway, here's our Christmas picture for this year:

Plus, here's a Christmas card we had made this year ...
