Since the holiday was on a weekend this year, we were pretty much confined to our home because of Jim's work. But we were delighted when B showed up with the little girls (M was working until Sunday evening).
This year was even more fun than last year because we could see the excietment in those little eyes...
We just enjoyed a nice quiet evening together, playing and visiting...
and reading stories. The next day we went to church for the morning service, came back home and enjoyed a delicious beef roast meal, then took some time for naps and siesta.
With the temp around 75, we decided to take a walk to a nearby park and play!
Plenty of fun to keep us all happy!
Mom not only had her hands full, but also her lap!
This happy face summed up all of our feelings about our time at the park.
After supper, we dressed the girls in their PJ's and then drove around town to look at the beautiful Christmas lights.
One neighborhood in our city really decorates...
They even make these awesome "Christmas globes" and hang them from all the trees. There are literally blocks of these colorful balls hanging over the streets. It is quite enchanting!
We were curious about the construction of the globes, so went for a close-up...
...and an even closer look. Alot of work...
...alot of beauty.
Daddy came later that evening, so the next morning this little girl was happy to snuggle close to dad as soon as she woke up. And that was the beginning of our family Christmas celebration on the 26th.
