Merry Christmas!

This video was from Christmas Eve.

As I type this it's 8:53 on Christmas Night, Maggie is asleep and we are exhausted! We went to a Christmas Eve service at our church last night which started at 10pm and ended around midnight. We didn't go to sleep until around 1am and Maggie woke us up at 5:45 in the morning saying, "I'm ready to be awake now!" As soon as we got her out of her pack and play (we spent the night at my mom's house) she said, "Santa's cookies!" We had left cookies and milk for Santa and while I remembered to remove the cookies and milk I DIDN'T remember to bring the empty plate and cup back in its place. Grant quickly said, "Let's see if Santa took his dishes to the kitchen!" and ran in the kitchen and brought back an empty glass and a plate with some cookie crumbs. What a rookie mistake on my part! We also put out reindeer food in the yard (consisting of oats, bird seed and glitter). I think some of it was eaten by animals during the night but there was still some left so Benton ran out there and raked it around and made "reindeer tracks" in the mulch. Maggie was so excited to go out there and look at it.
We opened presents all day (Santa visited mom's house, dad's house, and our house!) and ate until we were sick.
While Maggie got a lot of really cute things including some adorable clothes and toys, I'd have to say her favorite gift is this toy.
I hope you all had a magical Christmas and enjoyed your families!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever...
Isaiah 9:6-7
