Christmas Eve was the greatest. It was wonderful to have everyone together. Good food in the Gallery and opening presents, many of them made by the giver. Sam and Stu and thier families slept overnight, or at least stayed...along with Cass they were all up until about 3 a.m. It has been a long time since Santa visited our house. Malachi jumped on our bed in the morning and shouted "Grammy, Santa brought me a train, come see my train!"
Dax and Cabe opening their jammies.
Malachi was happy with the first thing he opened, Grace just wanted to open more presents...she didn't care who they were for.
