Before enjoying a fabulous Christmas dinner, we somehow rounded-up all the kids, got them showered and dressed up in their matching shirts given to us by Cynthia and Jay, and we wore our red clothes, so we would all look coordinated. The kids all looked so adorable and we actually captured a halfway decent photo of them together, all of us together and the family groupings too! By the end, you can tell by the photos that the kids are all tired of smiling and looking at the camera, but they did a great job. After we were done with the photos, we released the kids to play. The girls went immediately to the backyard to jump on the trampoline. Chandler headed next door to play with the neighbor boys and Jackson hung out with us while we all prepared for dinner. Cynthia and Connie had planned and prepared a great meal and before long, we were sitting around the dining room table enjoying a truly delicious meal together. Over dessert, CK and Cynthia told their parents that they planned to send them to Europe for a cruise and week of travel. They couldn't believe and were totally overcome with emotion! It was so sweet and exciting to watch them talk about the options and adventure ahead of them!
We ate, talked and enjoyed the end of a wonderful Christmas spent together. We ended the evening with dishes and putting the kids to bed before we all retired as well.
