My sweetest littlest girl was running around the house this morning, saying "Santa! Santa! Santa! I can't believe it!! We'll have to get some chocolate milk & cookies & a carrot for the reindeer! They will like that I think..." Some excitement at my house on Christmas Eve, I think the very best day of the whole year... :)
When my parents finally moved back to Colorado a couple of years ago, my Mom knew that we usually had dinner on Christmas Eve with Mike's mom, so we started the tradition of spending the morning of Christmas Eve at my Mom's house for brunch. My girls were immediately sold on the crepes, and the Christmas Eve Brunch has quickly become one of our most favorite things. :)
This year was no different, except that I was overcome with gratitude for the beautiful friendship that I have with Mike, which allows us to be together with our kids on special days like this. I will be eternally grateful for his friendship, generosity & kindness, and it was especially present in my mind during the holidays this year - our children were able to enjoy Christmas with both of their parents, surrounded by love, stability & happiness. Our friendship has been an amazing & unforeseeable gift to all six of us. I am grateful.
The rest of the day was just as wonderful as always, delicious food, fun desserts (the "cakeballs" were a giant hit!), presents and my most favorite company.
I am truly blessed. There is no Christmas gift that is better than what I have already...
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
