I love when Christmas falls on a Sunday. We had a wonderful church service full of music and wonderful messages of Christ.
Grandpa and Grandma came over after church and we finished up opening presents.
The rest of the day was spent playing with Christmas stuff, eating our traditional leftovers and bean dip and cheese and crackers and watching movies etc...
It was a hard Christmas without my mom, especially remembering having her and my dad around last Christmas. I sure miss her!
Owen got a giant Star Wars Hoth set that he spent a good day putting together. It's pretty cool!
