Our Little Christmas

 

Yesterday was a full day from start to finish. We had three Christmases and another visit to squeeze in between the last two Christmas gatherings, and both Ryan and Lexi are sleeping soundly beside me on the couch while I write this to you at the end of Christmas Day.

            But today I want to tell you about our little Christmas at home. Our church had a Christmas Eve service (later in the evening) so I put together a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning before we left for church.

            By the time we got home and I finished all my evening chores, it was late, and I was pretty wiped out. I slept right through all the alarms and Ryan making coffee and baking the casserole. By the time he finally managed to wake me up, breakfast was ready, and I was out of time to sleep!

            Breakfast was quite yummy, and we ate it in the dining room by the light of the tree.

            Then we went downstairs and opened our stockings. We enjoyed our treasures – and enjoyed watching Lexi find her treasures too! Bones and bully sticks and even a new toy!

            We were able to spend a little bit of time together before we had to get going to our other Christmas adventures, and I think she liked it!

            And last night, after we arrived back home, we watched Elf. Or the first few minutes of it anyway. 😊
