Christmas Morning













Christmas morning was all that it is supposed to be (even if a few of the pictures are a little blurry). The kids were up early, but not too early. Sam was still sleeping so he joined us at his leisure. Once he was fully awake, he had a great time. He played with his new toys and growled with pleasure. Santa got everything just right. There were fun surprises for all, including the Wii game that both Mom and Dad got for the family. (Good thing we saved receipts.) I especially liked watching the kids get excited for their siblings to open the gifts they bought. They are catching on to the joy that comes from giving. Joy. That is a good word to describe our morning together. Later in the afternoon we headed to Grandma's for good food and time with the cousins. I am grateful we have family close by to share the holidays with because time with family is what it is all about.

What fun to catch up on the Anson antics!! Wish we could have been there to share with you. You are right - family is what it is all about and we are grateful to be part of your family. Give every one of those adorable kids a hug from Grandma until I can get there to hug them myself.
