On Christmas Eve Danny and I looked at each other and asked, “Whatcha want to do tomorrow?” I know that it sounds strange. Shouldn’t there be a long list of traditions that we have? Well, we have almost ALWAYS traveled for Christmas, so staying home with the family is not something we are used to. We had to make a list of the things that we wanted to do and then make sure we fit them in… with that said we still almost forgot to open the stockings!
So… here is what we did on Christmas day…. a great day of celebration and family. It was priceless! It was simple! It was relaxing! It was special! It was what we were hoping for!
We started the morning with reading the Christmas story…right from the Bible… as the kids acted it out with the Fisher Price Nativity Set that we have.
Then we took a little break to eat cinnamon rolls…a Chase family tradition! YUMMY! Grace had THREE rolls… its Christmas so that is ok! :)
I made the kids pose for a few pictures before they dove into their first gift! We just can’t describe how much we love them and how blessed we feel to have them in our lives… all four of them! Four little gifts that keep on giving to us everyday!
Love it! we always travel for Christmas too, so we plan a whole day prior to our travels to celebrate Christmas as a family utilizing our own traditions, open gifts, breakfast etc...it's not on Christmas day, but still so special and our own! Glad you had your own day this year!
