Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year! I like lists...it makes things neat and tidy, so in no particular order, here's a list of the highlights from the day yesterday (and a few from Xmas Eve too!)--

• 7:30 am wake up call from Sadie
• Opening our presents to each other as a trio by the tree- she was in such a happy, communicative mood for about an hour (see video below)
• Mom's cinnamon rolls--SO gooey!
• Opening family presents at my mom's
• Sadie playing baby Jesus in the improvised Christmas pageant at the Christmas Eve service
• Watching an awesome video Johnny made for mom-- it was touching and well done
• Sassy and practical clutch wallet from my ever-so-thoughtful husband
• Handmade and thoughtful gifts from family
• Sadie's Christmas outfits
• Roro loving Sadie's bear rug and my bee socks. She was laughing up a storm!
• Mom reading a Bible passage to start out the morning
• Sadie's long naps, cooperative nursing, and peaceful moods--so I could enjoy family time
• Shining the silver and breaking out the wedding china for Christmas dinner--a first!
• Drinking freshly home-carbonated soda at dinner-- Thanks Scott and Lida, what a fun gadget!
• Anne, Lon, and 6-day-old baby Katherine joining us for dinner
• Mom's lemon meringue pie
• Being with the people I love most
