Christmas was modest this year, but memorable none the less. With our limited budget we decided to do more activities and less presents. I enjoyed spending the time with my kids and hope that I built some memories with them. Some of our activities included gingerbread house building, sledding, Christmas cookie making, various crafts, many nights of the Polar Express movie and of course driving around and looking at lights,. Avery said to me one night in bed after Christmas was said and done "Mom, I want to go see lights again." With that comment I feel it was a success. The older girls spent the first part of their Christmas break through Christmas morning at our house this year. That's always the best time to have them. Duane and the two older girls got Flip video cameras, Avery got her "dame" she had been telling us Santa was going to bring her (I tried desperately to use the "Santa won't bring you presents if your naughty" bit, but she still confidently insisted he would and continued on her naughty merry way)Clara got a few toys and books and I got a new cell phone. I really enjoyed Christmas and my family this year.
