We had a splendid Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa were here...that made it most splendid of all. Rob's grandma made AMAZING gift tags for the kids that I am saving. I hope to put them in a shadow box, they are that incredible. Inside, was cash rolled up beautifully. I don't have enough adjectives for this in my vocabulary.
AG9's napkins adorned our table. Grandma made a new yummy egg dish.
And then.
Grandma and Grandpa gave the older kids their own cameras. And they spent hours taking pictures and making videos.
Rob introduced MK4 and DJ3 to the slinky. DJ3 calls it the "yellow thing with circles." They had non-stop fun making it go down the stairs scoring touchdowns.
MK4 got an art kit from Aunt Christine and Maya and Uncle Tim. She insisted on going to bed at 6 p.m. after I said she could do one project per day. She went to bed at 6:45, when I gave in to this. She went to sleep immediately. She made a bird. Today she is making a cow...or a dog.
The people who work at LeapFrog astounded me with their creativity in the Tag reading system. I am flabbergasted by their ingenuity.
After at least five years, I now have a new fireplace screen. It is not terribly creative, and really quite simple, but I love its possibilities for embellishment.
AG9 made me a lovely card and gift and NR11 came up with a creative gift for me as well.
Auntie Becky gave each kid a bird that makes the appropriate sound and a nice book to help us learn more about birds in our area.
And, most creatively, I got some terrific new Bible tools to learn more about the most creative Creator, Father to Jesus, whose birth was the reason for the day in the first place!
We are blessed.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I look forward to reading your response, and continuing a conversation if prudent. To keep my blog more generic, I use my kids' initials and age. I kindly ask that you do the same in your comments.
