As always, I'm running behind and I am just now working on my Christmas post.
We had a very special Christmas. We invited Auntie Jan and Uncle Joe over for breakfast.
Fred is our resident cook, so he handled those duties while I made sure everything was in order for Christmas. He made sure we had a delicious breakfast of pancakes, bacon and eggs.
Jonathan serenaded us on the tuba. You don't hear that everyday! He had been working on a compilation of Christmas hymns in band. Unfortunately, he didn't have the melody, so it was a little hard to discern what he was playing, but it was still really special. I was especially touched that he wanted to play hymns for us on Christmas morning.
After breakfast, we read the Christmas story from the Luke Chapter 2. I cried when I read "For unto you is born this day in th city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." My aunt cried with me. We're big babies like that.
Then we transitioned to the kids' favorite part... presents. This year we had a very modest Christmas, but no one seemed to mind. The kids really didn't have a wish list, so we didn't do it up big. We just enjoyed the morning.
We had a great morning and were so thankful that Auntie Jan and Uncle Joe could be there to help us celebrate. We were especially thankful that we were able slow down for a few minutes and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
