Christmas 2006, Julie gave each of her sons and their wives a Christmas ornament recognising their "first Christmas together." It's a beautiful ornament which we have had on our tree every Christmas since. Here's my attempt to take a picture of it.....did I mention it's a mirror? lol!Christmas eve eve (lol) I rounded up the boys and went over to my mother-in-laws for a Phillips girls "Baking Day!" It was so fun, and yummy, too!
Then on Christmas eve, Daniel, the boys, and I went over to deliver presents and a Christmas dinner to the "adopted family." The Phillips' have a tradition of adopting a family in need each Christmas; it's the greatest feeling in the world to see the impact you can make on someone, merely giving food and a few presents.
Christmas eve night, after tucking in the boys, Daniel and I shared our little tradition of opening one present! He got me an autographed, hard-backed copy of the book Twilight.
Christmas day started way too early (if you know who my husband is......I think he woke the boys up!) and we recorded the boys opening their presents!
Then we headed over to Bob and Julie's to open family presents. Which we recorded, too, for the boys to remember!
It was perfect, and I hope everyone was as fortunate to share the holiday with family!
