Besides all the excitement of opening gifts, the kids love the fact that Christmas is one of four days during the year that the adults do all of the chores...a huge gift in itself! After breakfast dishes were done, we gathered in the family room to worship before choosing the first names to begin opening gifts. This was a fairly long process with 50+ people! After a buffet-style lunch, the rest of the day was spent swimming and playing with new games and toys until we finally got them all back into bed around 10:30pm. We praise God for a perfect day to celebrate Jesus's birth.
