We celebrated Christmas a couple times this year with different family members and had our own at home in between trips. The day we chose for just us, Elena was up before we were, had chosen a gift to open and had it opened and playing with it on Daddy's desk. She had part of a stroller given to her by Eric's partner at work, Jim and his wife Lily. Now, here's where it gets good...and scary...Elena had some difficulty getting into said package, so took the liberty to get the utility scissors (Insert gasping and sputtering noises here!!!), took them apart, then neatly and carefully used them to get all the plastic off of mini parts and open the second box. Then for some reason felt the need to get out the UHU Glue-all and smear that all over the scissors afterward as well as the bottom three carpeted steps...fortunately it was all cleaned up by mommy before Daddy could see, but what a sight! So anyway, it was a good day all in all with unwrapping, having coffee with eggnog creamer and Christmas music, then Christmas-colored pancakes. It was good to be together and enjoy the day.
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son for us, giving us a reason to celebrate, and thank You for the blessing of being able to give to one another. You are THE very best gift of all.
