Sounds like Christmas Day was alot of fun for you! Katie and my nephew (6 years old) took turns openning gifts while the rest of us watched. We ususally open youngest to oldest, but my nephew still isn't over being the youngest in the family. Thankfully, Katie was gracious about it. That was probably the only part of the weekend that she was gracious.

I agree, Lib. Jesus was laughing too. Actually, I did expect Him to blow out His own candles...wouldn't THAT have been a Christmas miracle.

We sang Happy Birthday when my Dad was alive. That brought back some memories.

Thanks Libby!!!

I don't know about Jesus laughing, but I was. I think that's a precious tradition you've started with his family.

I'll have to look for that game-our families always play games at the holidays..and jenga and cards are getting old.

Sounds like you guys had a really nice family Christmas. The way it should be.
