Christmas

Christmas was great this year. Due to the baby, we had to adjust some of our activities. We always attend the 11pm Christmas Eve service and have Christmas Eve lasagna beforehand. This year we went to the 7pm service and had lasagna afterwards. Mark and I then watched Christmas Vacation. I mentioned that this was probably the last peaceful Christmas night we would have and could watch a movie because most likely in future years we will be assembling toys until the wee hours!

I love getting the mail everyday and wanted Madeline to have the mailbox. She loves it and someday she'll be walking with me to the real mailbox. I also wrapped up a jumbo box of diapers so it looked like she had a big present under the tree. She had all kinds of fun toys from family including the hippo pillow pet, the Zoo, a baby doll and lots of other things. I see that our Christmases now involve toys!

We had Christmas just us with the animals, then headed over to my brother-in-law's house and then later to my parents' house. We are so blessed.


For those of you that are aware of the feud in the Macdonald clan, it is a year of clear lights. The tree did look very nice, I am not disputing that. Next year we will have the colored lights!! Yeah!
