and all through the house, there is quiet except for Dale and I clicking on the keys of our computer keyboards. I'm really not going to try to make this a big rhyming thing. It's 1:30 in the morning (so technically it's Christmas), and I just don't have the clarity I need for rhyming right now. We've been busily wrapping gifts, which we saved all for the end. It actually wasn't as bad as I'd feared, but it is late, and we need to get ourselves off to bed. The kids are NOT going to let me sleep in tomorrow. Nor do I want to. I'm always excited to see how excited the kids get.
It has been an interesting Christmas Eve. We went to the Christmas Eve family service at our church at 4:00--the later one was cancelled due to all the snow. Then we went to Burger King to pick up food to bring home. I can't believe we had BK on Christmas Eve. Usually we have friends come over, and our friends, the Goves, were going to come over, but again, the weather issues squashed those plans. It seemed kinda lonely, but the kids frosted cookies, which I hadn't gotten around to until today. I had been complaining about Hannah and Justin having frosting in their hair, and then Owen, for some reason, saw the need to run his knife covered in green frosting across his forehead and bangs. I guess he wanted to fit in. He went into the tub, and Hannah joined him. Then they watched A Charlie Brown Christmas, we put cookies out for Santa and off they went to bed, so "Santa" could get to work.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Ours will be a joyous Christmas as always I'm sure, and it will also be a White Christmas!!! The first in this area since 1938 they say. The kids have really been enjoying this Winter Wonderland. I'll be kinda bummed when it's over, but it has made things a little difficult for people.
Well I didn't want to make this long. I'm sorry that there is still no official family Christmas letter. I will work on that soon, but for now I want to wish Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from our family to yours!
