Well, we made it through the holidays! :) They were great! Christmas was quiet and very enjoyable. I decided to make a ham and a bunch of treats on Christmas Eve this year. So Nate came home to a feast, which we all enjoyed and then we let the kids open 2 gifts each. First, they opened up their gifts from one another, it was darling! Melody received a baby doll that drinks, laughs and cries real tears from Cadence, Coda received 2 cap guns, a rifle and a pistol and some extra caps for them from Melody and Cadence received a firetruck that makes tons of noise from Coda. Then they opened up jammies from Mom and Dad, which they quickly put on for Santa. Then we made cookies and Melody insisted that Santa needed Eggnog since everyone else would be giving him milk :) and off to bed they went. We heard giggling and talking for about 10 minutes followed by silence.
Christmas morning we were woken up at 6:30, which was a bit of a struggle but so worth it! Watching the kids was wonderful and we took our time opening and playing with each gift. I baked up a few more goodies and spent the rest of the day relaxing. No where to go, nothing to do, it was wonderful! That night we took the kids to see the lights at the Layton Park. Though we missed family, it was a nice change to have a quiet, relaxing day. It was probably the best Christmas I have ever had!
