This was our first Christmas with Zackary in our arms. Mom and I had picked out four special stockings for our future family years ago when we had NONE... so amazing to see God's provision!!
Despite tight times for us financially Nana and Papa made sure all of us still had Christmas presents. This year shampoo, socks and household items meant so much to me!
Kira had several gifts from the Santa... a pillow pet, a little Olivia doll and a Barbie bike! Daddy handed down my little laptop which has "edubuntu" loaded on it. Her fine motor skills are awesome... she is also learning great things on it!
On Christmas we spent a couple of hours at a local Nursing Home with people from the Vineyard Church. We sang, read the story of Jesus birth, passed out presents, and chatted with the residents. Unlike any other year we actually had one of our family members there needing a visit! Kira and Zack were able to see GREAT Grandma Walker:) Note that tissue box with chapstick... this was a handy invention of Grandpa Saunders! :)
We hosted our traditional BRUNCH... the food is always great! Hoping my Mother-in-law makes cinnamon rolls EVERY YEAR! Kira opened presents all day long. One of my favorite moments was sitting down for a game of Scrabble of which I LOST as usual:)
