We had a very blessed Christmas in 2010. John’s Mother, affectionately known as Grandma O., was able to spend the holiday with us. On Christmas Eve we enjoyed a Christmas Eve service at the local Episcopal church followed by a ham dinner, with chocolate mousse for dessert.
We then shared a special Christmas story which helped us understand all the symbols of Christmas. The boys enjoyed the tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve. We then set out cookies & carrots for Santa and the reindeer.
Dylan had lost a tooth on December 23rd, but had decided to save his tooth and put it out on Christmas Eve as well. So we hung his tooth in a tooth pillow right by his stocking and put out cookies for the Tooth Fairy as well. Our house was visited on the same night by both Santa & the Tooth Fairy!
The next morning the boys woke up early a
He filled their stockings and left them all a X-Box game. Oddly though, we didn’t have an X-Box. When Dylan opened his game, he discovered a message from Santa detailing a treasure hunt. After following a few clues the boys were led to their treasure – An X-Box! They were very excited.
John enjoyed getting a jersey for his favorite NFL team – The Rams.
Here are some pictures of our blessed Christmas day.
