The Drew Crew: Merry Christmas!

We have all been so excited for this day. We have been singing and dancing to Christmas songs, reading Christmas books, reading our Jesus Storybook Bible to prepare for Jesus' birthday, baking all kinds of fun goodies in the kitchen, searching and having fun with Buddy our Elf, coloring Christmas pages, looking at beautiful lights, and searching for wonderful presents to give those that we love. Unfortunately, with all of the great preparations that we have done, a nasty bug has hit our house, and Charley has just started to recover from it, and I am right in the midst of it. No fun!

This morning, when I woke up, I couldn't wait to see if Santa had eaten our cookies and the reindeer had eaten their food. I was so excited to see that Santa ate his cookies and he left Charley and me a note. After I read the note and saw that the reindeer ate their food, I was excited to see that our stockings had been filled and there were more presents under the tree. I decided to start sorting the presents, and Mommy decided it was time to wake up little Polka. Once Charley came downstairs, we were so excited to look at all the presents. We then sang Happy Birthday to baby Jesus!!! After we sang, we opened some of our gifts, and then we took a break to eat some homemade cinnamon rolls. Charley and I didn't have much of an appetite, so we were excited to get back to opening presents. Some of my favorite gifts were my pirate ship and my Who Shook Hook game. Charley's favorite presents were her shopping cart and a cupcake shape sorter.

After we opened our presents, we headed off to Mama D and Papa Rock's house. When we got there, we started cooking and opening presents. As we opened up our gifts, we got the most amazing present---it began to snow... A LOT! I have seen snow before, but this was Charley's first big snow, and we were ALL excited! After we finished opening our presents, we had snowball fights, built a snowman, and even made some snow angels. We had such a WONDERFUL day!!! We are so blessed that Jesus was born so many thousands of years ago and that He lives with us all now. He has blessed us with so many wonderful things and more importantly, such wonderful friends and family. Merry Christmas!!!
