This first part is for Grandpa and Grandma Thomas. This year they dropped their gifts off early. We decided on Thursday night to let the kids open their ornaments so they could put them on the tree.
My parents and brothers are spending Christmas in Phoenix, AZ this year (lucky them so nice and warm). My parents go out every year for several months and decided to go out early this year. Kansas is a stopping point, about half way. They always come on a Friday and leave Monday. We were lucky to spend several days with them this year and celebrated Christmas with them.
A big brother's love???
We are trying to teach London how to open packages, but she was more interested in the bows and shredding tissue paper. At least she wasn't eating like she did at her birthday.
Russ and I received a gift together this year. I have been talking and looking for a nativity set for probably about three years, but just hadn't found what I was looking for or couldn't decide what style I wanted. This year mom and dad got us one - the complete set! It is beautiful and simple just what I was looking for. It is from the Willow Tree collection. I remember that as kids we all wanted to set up the nativity. It was fun to arrange all the animals, Wisemen, and baby Jesus. It seemed we each had a different way to arrange them. This will be something to pass down to London.
