Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good-Night!

This has been a wonderful Christmas. It has been so nice to have all of our children at home together as we celebrate the Birth of our Savior.
We enjoyed Christmas Eve at our home with everyone after Ben, Bryan and Brandon finished at work. I was scheduled to work 8 hours, but got called off. (That meant our house got cleaned for Christmas Day.)
We had a lovely dinner and our traditional program of acting out the Nativity.
Santa had lots of helpers this year and was not up too late, but the younger children were up at 6 a.m. They didn't come for the parents until nearly 7:30 a.m., then it took nearly an hour to get the sleeping young adults out of bed!
Santa found each child and everyone was happy with their gifts. And there are only a few things that have to be returned.

We enjoyed the afternoon with my extended family. We were glad that my mom felt well enough to have the party at her home. For the first time in my life we used paper plates! The clean up with 27 for dinner was a breeze with disposables, which I think will become our new Christmas tradition.
Our evening was spent playing new games and watching one of our new videos. Now I am just waiting up for the travelers who have braved the storm to get home for work.
I hope that Christmas was full of joy and happiness to all. It was for the Brockbanks.
