Christmas morning was loud, raucous and absolutely wonderful. This year's Christmas lists were pretty basic, with Lauren and Grace requesting roller skates (their old pairs are becoming snug) and George requesting some fireman's tools and a stuffed Dalmatian. Santa brought those items, as well as a few other trinkets. Some favorites out of the loot include George's Black and Decker work set, and the girls' Fuji Instax cameras.
And because George had become obsessed with this Publix 18-wheeler, Santa loaded it onto the sleigh as well.
Grace loves George's "coon-skin" hat, and therefore, Santa thought she might like a fur hat of her own.
Santa found Grammie at our house as well. That Santa knows all!
And what would a Christmas morning be without a new Snoopy? Of course, like all of the other "new" Snoopy's, he has been thrown aside in favor of the near-black and much-loved original Snoopy.
Skip's parents were verrrry sick over the holidays, and instead of attending our Christmas dinner as planned, Skip delivered dinner to them. For those who are local, we had torrential rains and tornadic activity Christmas night, making it one of the more unusual (read: strange) Christmases we have experienced. Some people have white Christmases, whereas we have Christmas floods. Fortunately, we were at home and able to enjoy Santa's toys, although our thoughts and prayers were with those who experienced difficulties.
We adored Christmas 2015. We are still experiencing the present-opening frenzy and all of the chaos that that involves. We are sticking with our trick of filming Christmas morning, and Skip and I joke that one day we will watch old Christmas mornings and sob uncontrollably.
Christmas 2015, you were awesome.
Christmas past:
