Christmas was extra wonderful this year because of the addition of Naomi to the family. I look at her and the girls and realize what miracles they are to my life. I feel so lucky to be their mother.
We celebrated Christmas eve at my parents' house with my siblings' families and my grandmother. We had a nice dinner, all of the grandchildren preformed songs, and we exchanged family gifts. We hurried home to get to bed so Santa could come. Ava was especially excited about Santa and tried to stay up to hear the thump of his sleigh landing on our roof top, but she fell asleep in a matter of minutes.
Christmas morning was a huge success with the girls getting Zhu-Zhu pets and scooters. We interrupted the play to eat German pancakes with coconut syrup before hitting the toys again. In the afternoon we went back to my parents' house for pizza. It was great family time, and there is nothing like the feeling of watching your children enjoy the day.
