Less Stress

This was definitely a less stress Christmas. I am not sure exactly why but I didn't seem to worry about all the little things. We certainly kept Christmas simple this year and I just loved it. My kids are usually early risers. We have had years where they have gotten us up at 2 am. The last few years have been 4 or 5am. This year was 6:30am, so I feel we are making progress. After opening gifts Thayne and I went back for a morning nap until 9:30. I would have tried to stay in bed longer but I need to get up and make rolls for dinner. Thayne's parents did a ham for Christmas dinner which is always nice. I swear they must have been in the kitchen for 2 days with all the food they had made themselves. It was all fantastic and as always I ate way to much. We just hung out and had fun and left around 8:30pm. It was raining all day so the kids were stuck in the house most of the day. It seems kinda weird that Christmas is already gone and another years has slipped by. I think I may need to take a moment next week and reflect on my favorite parts of this year. I have enjoyed every one's Christmas cards and seeing how all these kids are growing up so fast. I loved all the yummy goodies that were dropped off at our home. I will be requesting some recipes. I tried Paula's rocky road fudge and it didn't set so I did something wrong. HELP PAULA! I did make fudge that was a recipe from Grandma Harris and it turned out so we have enjoyed that. So for another Christmas gone, I will have to say I was not it the most Christmas spirit ever but it was a easy nice Christmas with no complaints. Gotta love that. Enjoy a few photos from our Christmas and I hope you all had a nice Christmas Day too.
