We woke up and I tried a new sticky bun recipe for breakfast. It was good but made a lot for us. Preston loved them, Naomi wanted nothing to do with them. We made a fire and read the Christmas story from Luke 2 in the bible. Preston did a pretty good job of telling us things that happened in the story when we asked him. He has been learning about it in his Sunday class and we have been reading stories at home too. I told him we would maybe have cupcakes for Jesus' birthday but we had so many sweets that we didn't. I was amazed that that was one thing he actually forgot. He never forgets anything. We opened our gifts from each other and from Ninny and Pops, Great grandma and papa and that was our day. Playing with each thing for a little bit and moving on to the next thing then going back to the first thing....over and over. Preston really understood it this year.
Back track, on Christmas eve at the church service the kids could go up and sing. Preston went up but didn't sing a word. I think he got scared. He stood there with his finger in his mouth. First time for everything. He was going to sing Ring those Bells and Away in a Manger and has sang them many times since.
This is a pic of a sucker that santa brought. It is quiet large. They have only enjoyed it one time so far. MESSY! but Fun!
