Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! This year we had so many fun things to do at Christmas time. We really focused this year on family and the anticipation (advent) of the season. It was really neat to try some new traditions. For Christmas Eve this year we spent it at Chris' parents' house (as usual). Chris dressed up as Santa Claus (Usually Kiley's job) but took it a step further. with the warm weather out, he got out on the roof and played games with the kids - Simon says, red light-green light, and maybe a few others. It was so funny - the kids knew it was Chris but still got a kick out of "Santa" on grandma and grandpa's roof. The joke turned out to be for everyone else too - lots of neighbors stopped by, random people came over and took pictures, cars slammed on their breaks to point out "Santa" and the little kids from across the street came over for some last Christmas wishes to tell Santa - and to let him know about the cookies they were making. It was hysterical. We spent some great time with family and had lots of laughs. On Christmas morning we had my mom, Rick, and Pa as well as Sharalee and Kiley and family over for Christmas Breakfast. We had a very relaxing morning and I made some last minute Gingerbread Lattes that turned out to be a hit and will probably be a new tradition! In the afternoon we headed back to mom & dad Roberts for some more hang out time! Merry Christmas everyone!
