I sure had a special day.
It all started with waking up at like 6 (I never sleep well the night before), I tip-toed out into the living room to look at the presents sparkling under the tree's lights. I stole my stocking and retreated back to my room to open it (a tradition allowing us to open that whenever we so desire). After that I went for a little walk outside to find some Christmassy flowers for my mom then just entertained myself until my parents were ready to start the day.
After a relaxed cup of coffee and yummy breakfast, the reading of Jesus' birth and a prayer we turned to our presents. It was still strange only having 3 people to open, but we enjoyed each others company and took our time. We like to "play" with our "toys" when we open them to spread out the fun. So when we get a new shirt, we try it on, we all smell the perfume, look at the book, sometimes we open and eat the chocolate...you get the picture.
I love my mommy! This year she tagged our presents a little different. She had them "from" lots of different "people". So I had presents from "Saint Nick", "the Grinch", "Prancer", "Vixon", "Frosty", "Little Cindly-Loo Who" etc. and even the "Easter Bunny!!" :P It was so cute & fun!! :D
I'm so blessed and am happy with the things I got.
Some of notable items are:
-my GoBible from my Grandma (an audio Bible)
-cute clothes & accessories from my parents
-the "new" season of Psych for my family!! :)
Once the last present was opened and the floor was covered in crumbled paper we took a quick breath then went and watched TV and played a game together. Now we take a break from all the family time before we regroup a bit later to make dinner. I could use a nap!!
It was a very special, memorable, fun, relaxing, bitter sweet, last PNG Christmas.
Here's just a glimpse into our day: :)
P.s. It's a beautiful blue skies, very hot hot sunny day!!!
