Mike & I had everything wrapped early this year so it was an early night for us - probably a first in many many years. It's always worth seeing the kids open their presents - we tried hard to keep to a minimum this year and I think it worked - they seemed quite happy with what they all got and what Santa brought. We are so fortunate because our family sent things for the kids to open as well - my Aunties - Karen, Gina & Becca all sent things from the US and the Grands all sent their presents back with me when I went there in October so the kiddies had so many nice things!
We've been reminding the kids about how the Christmas season really is about giving and we are so blessed by all that we have and so grateful and thankful by it all. We hope you all have a wonderful season and are able to spend it with family or friends - we love being here but we miss our family during these special times....
