Christmas has come and gone and as I look back we had a very nice one. We always open presents from each other on Christmas Eve, sometimes very early in the day because everyone is excited. The kids always get cool pajamas that they immediately change into. That night we prepare Santa's cookies, milk and a note. Chelsea and Alex's note used to be very long and specific. With Ruthie only being 3 and Chelsea almost 16 this years note was quite short. In the morning the kids are allowed to get up and get their stockings first and they don't have to wake us up first. Chelsea and Alex always like this, whoever woke up first would go get the other and they would ooh and aah over each other's stuff. Chelsea is helping Ruthie learn our family traditions and I enjoying watching them. Then the kids come get Rodney and I and we open from Santa then have a big breakfast and mess with our stuff for the rest of the day.
Chelsea's big gift this year was a digital camera. She is taking a homemaking class at school and has pick up sewing. She made many of her friends purses for Christmas. It only seemed fitting that she get and sewing basket and scissors of her own. Her cool pajamas this year were Spiderman boxers. She loves Spiderman these days.
Ruthie big gift was a basketball goal. (Ruthie size) She is really into the Disney princesses, so she got several of there toys. Her cool pajamas were Spiderman like big sister. She loved them, it makes her feel special to be like sister.
Rodney got a 8ft ladder that he had asked and I got a new flash for my digital camera.
We had a nice Christmas and pray everyone else did too.
