Since Aaron had the day off on Christmas Eve this year, we decided to mix it up this year, skip the movie and go glow-bowling at fast lane instead. The kids LOVED it! Christmas Eve dinner was a fancy spread of french fries, a chicken quesadilla appetizer, sodas and chicken strips. No dishes for me, no nutrients for anyone, and 6 happy and satisfied people. It was a great time spent together as a family.
After bowling, looking at the lights at Concordia one last time, we went home for scriptures and a nativity with the children. It was actually reverent. Wild, but respectful...and that's as much as we can ask of our brood. It was great.
Christmas morning brought presents and surprises from Santa. The kids trashed the house, ate chocolate and cheese balls for breakfast, waffles for lunch, pajamas worn as clothing for the entire day, and Aaron and I made a turkey for dinner. Later that night, we skyped with Aaron's brothers and sisters and parents, and talked to mine on the phone.
