Christmas morning came and the children unwrapped their stocking goodies while they waited for everyone to be awake. We had a nice hot breakfast, cocoa and settled in around the tree. The children found the pickle and after some tears we decided to just go in age order so that we could enjoy the morning and get to the giving. Their faces in these pictures make me smile. Rod & I kept saying..."only 4 more years with T. Can you believe it?" The thought is just heart wrenching! I want to freeze time. the children are all in such good places right now. School is going well, Church is going well, home is getting better every day as they learn to get along better and keep peace. It was another treasured Christmas for the books, even though Oma & Opa were not with us. We missed them. We missed all our family. We prefer a house full for holidays. We finished off the day with full bellies and movies by the fireplace. It was a merry Christmas.

I was just telling Norah how I was going to look for The Boxcar Children set now that she's reading chapter books. They were my favorite growing up! Presley's face is priceless! <3
