Today started out with Benjamin letting us sleep until 8:20! It was wonderful! We woke up, had some coffee, watched the Today show and waited for Noah to get home so the Christmas festivities could start. Once Noah got home we opened gifts, the kids had a blast! This year was scaled back compared to most years, but we got the kids things they really wanted and it was so much fun to see their faces! I love giving gifts, it is my love language and I love the feeling I get when someone is so excited that they just shriek in glee! There were lots of gleeful giggles in my house today and it was music to my ears.
My favorite thing today was being with my husband and boys for the whole day, playing with their new toys, eating homemade doughnuts, and just relaxing and laughing with each other. This is only the second time in my life that I have not spent Christmas Day at my parents house, and even though I am sad that I missed that tradition, it was such a precious gift to me to be here in my own home, with my sweet family on Christmas Day!
My second favorite part of the day was because of these little beauties!
These are the best things ever!!!!! Oh my gosh, they are the coziest cutest slippers I have ever owned! Chad bought them for me at Bath and Body and I love them so much! Aren't they precious? They make my heart so happy and my feet too! Although, my disgusting pregnant feet and legs are so swollen, so its a good thing these sweet little lambies cover up my swollen hippo feet.
Noah received a set of golf clubs and a bag from Santa, he has been carrying them around the house all day. Poor kid, we live in Kansas and he won't get to use them outside for quite sometime, its killing him.Well, we are off to see a movie and then to drive around looking at Christmas lights! Everyone have a wonderful Christmas night!
