We had a wonderful Christmas day! We all three were exhausted and stayed in our grubbies all day. We didn't eat a fancy dinner. We didn't go out visiting. But, we did have a nice relaxing day playing with new toys. For our family - it worked just fine.
Katie did not get to go to the mall and see Santa this year. We just ran out of hours in the day and days in the week. We were driving around with Dad, Marilyn and Gran looking at Christmas lights last night and we were in AC's neighborhood because there are always beautiful decorations over there. We were on a dead end culdesac and all of a sudden - there was Santa. He was in a beautiful Santa suit, deep rich Santa voice and we pulled up to him and he was so kind with Katie. He asked her if she'd been good and she said "Yeeeesssss, Santa"....."well, mostly". :) He asked her to leave him out some milk and he'd be by later... It was the neatest thing.
Katie got her Butterscotch pony that she was hoping for SO MUCH and a gameboy! Don got a Playstation 3 and a TIVO High Def, which were total surprises for him. I got the Parelli Horsemanship items that I really wanted, some scrapbook kits, some Brighton jewelry that I love and a beautiful necklace from Don.
I woke up at 5am and tried to get MomMom on our family's "Christmas Gift" game that we've always had - but she was up, awake and I had no chance!! However, when I was talking to them later in the day - Don picked up the phone and was sneaky and got her! :)
We enjoyed spending the day together. That is definitely another thing that Christmas is about.
