Christmas Day. The best day of the year. We wake up super early. Too excited to sleep. The kids run down the stairs while Corey and I each have a camera in hand. Then, it's minutes and minutes on end of excitement! And "Look Mom!"s and "Look Dad!"s. Then, we exchange gifts that we have bought for each other. It is a very special time!
This year Santa had needed a lot of help getting the kids' big gift assembled (A LOT of help!), so Corey and I had had about 45 minutes of sleep when the kids awoke on Christmas morning. So, Christmas napping was on the agenda for Corey. The kids spent a lot of time playing with the 3-in-1 table, assembling Legos, playing video games, putting together puzzles, etc.
We ate the breakfast casseroles that I had made the night before. I took care of puppies. We all took care of puppies. And I read Corey's new book and played with kiddos.
Puzzles and games (and food!) - the things that make a holiday a "Powell holiday".
That afternoon, my mom and dad came by for a visit. We worked on the puzzle, played a lot of games, then enjoyed Christmas dinner together. Lasagna, salad, and bread has become our Christmas dinner tradition. Then, we ate the pie that Corey and Allie had made together. Coconut cream pie. My favorite!
And on my "good camera", I have gobs more photos, but for now, this is mostly a blog containing photos from my phone. And that's okay.
