For us, Christmas morning officially began when we got home from church after the Christmas Eve service. After we put Avery to bed, Chris had to help Santa assemble one final gift.
It’s a grill, just like Daddy’s!
Don’t forget the hot dog and hamburger.
Luckily, it didn’t take Chris too long to put together the grill. We were in bed by 1:15 a.m., knowing we’d need some good sleep before waking up around 8:30 a.m.We woke up Avery on Christmas morning. We had to make sure we had enough time to read the Christmas story in the Gospel of Luke, open our presents and start cooking breakfast before Mommaw and Poppaw Clark arrived. Later, we said this probably was the last year that we could have slept in on Christmas morning. From now on, Avery will be anxious to start the day and won’t let us sleep very late!
First up, Avery got a new pair of Nikes from Daddy. I have a feeling this will become an annual gift.
Since she loves fish and turtles so much, we bought her “Finding Nemo.” We watched it later in the day, and it kept her attention pretty well. I’m sure she’ll enjoy it more in a few years.
That wasn’t the end of the fish gifts. We also got her a fish book.
After opening our gifts, Avery and Daddy played with the grill.
I don’t know which one of them had more fun!Christmas in review: Christmas morning
