All 5 kids running around in flannel Christmas pajamas into the afternoon.
Husband off (paid) for the next 11 days.
Everybody so damned excited about everything they're getting.
The St Nicholas picture had Isaac jumping up and down screaming.
SO MUCH CHOCOLATE FOR ALL OF US.
Bob even laughing at his Spiderman underwear and open to his BROWN cords and obviously touched by the football he'd wanted.
Whole family digging through the stockings I sewed myself and stuffed last night.
We ran a dozen strawberry chocolate chip muffins over to Grant Srs for him and Patrice, Nadia and Robby. Barefoot 4 blocks and not knocking.
Grant is making bacon and eggs in the kitchen for us all to have "breakfast".
And we've got good places to go and people to see and the BIKES surprise later, and geeeeez is there going to be a whole lot of cash and gift card shopping for these children in the days to come.
Grant made the most amazing big wooden swords for Ananda and Aaron, each with their names wood burned into the handle. Also the coolest boxes for Isaac and Elise, his with a money slot and a lock and hers covered in cool pictures and laminated over with wide clear tape.
We had a great little prayer-and-scripture thing in our giant bed last night, all 7 of us.
Alright I gotta serve some plates.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
