We got to bed really late on Christmas Eve and made a deal with the boys to let us sleep in until 8:00 a.m. on Christmas morning. I think it was the latest we have been able to sleep in on a Christmas morning since we had kids. At 8:00 a.m. on the dot though they burst into our room eager for us to get up so they could open gifts.

Cruz's WhatsApp mug. Ben got a YouTube one.
Ben got a new hat. He got one last year for Christmas but accidentally left it on an airplane on one of our trips earlier this year. It was one of his first Christmas requests this year.
Ben checking his stocking for all the different candy he had asked for. He is our candy man and loves anything sweet.
they got a mega gummy bear
Ben wanted an alarm clock for his bedroom.
a family gift that we will all enjoy
One of my gifts was these beautiful purple juice cups that Cruz picked out.
I spent the morning cooking. Here is our table set for Christmas lunch.
At noon on Christmas Day, everyone shoots firecrackers. We went outside to light a few of our own.
Our Christmas Day lunch. We had ham, carrot souffle, corn casserole, mac n' cheese, Lima beans, deviled eggs, crescent rolls, and sweet tea.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing. We watched several movies.
We ended the night watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was my first Charlie Brown video to watch since my dad passed away. I thought it might make me sad, but instead, it brought me comfort and made me smile. I am thankful for that!
