Christmas blessings

it was an amazing christmas in this household once again.
we tried to get every memory possible into the week of christmas.

we made a gingerbread house


and gingerbread boys


we went to candlelight service*

we ate prime rib with homemade bread and all the fixings

we spent time with family

we played

we made santa cookies

we fed the reindeer**


we watched a movie and then curled up together in mama's room


we checked the santa radar and closed our eyes before he made it to missouri

we woke on christmas morning and had homemade cinnamon rolls

we opened presents and watched it snow

we soaked up the blessings that spilled over us

and finally

mama crashed with exhaustion!

*there may have been a not so magical moment when the pastor said "and they took the body"
maggie misunderstood and stood up and yelled for all in the service to hear "THEY CAN NOT TAKE MY POTTY!!! HAAAAY MISTER YOU GIB ME BACK MY POTTY!!!"

**yes that is my snowman face down in the snow... yes we fed the reindeer from the front porch, it was freezing and snowing outside!
