The view out the window on Christmas morning was breathtaking. It was so peaceful to the spirit to see such pure and serene beauty.
We started the morning reading the Christmas story together...
The kids decided Mammy should open her presents first. They were all so sweet to think of ways to make her happy as she mourned losing her husband.
The kids gifts all centered around one theme... legos.
We spent hours that day gathered around the table building.
I have to say I think the adults loved it just as much as the kids...
That night we gathered with our extended family for some more Christmas fun.
The id cousins had lots of fun and laughs playing Just Dance...
(okay, the big kids, too!)
We are so blessed to be able to spend the holidays with so many family members. It sounds crazy to some people, but we can't imagine it any other way. There is nothing sweeter than having four generations of parents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, and more under one roof. We cherish the moments and the faces around the room. The chance to connect, laugh, and wrap our arms around each other may not be frequent, but we realize it is a precious and priceless blessing.
