It's Been a Very Merry Christmas

This has been wonderful Christmas season. The kids built a gingerbread house (I don't think they every finished it before they actually started eating it)! We attended the Christmas Eve service and then went to our "Framily" tradition to the Beavers house along with the Brands, Kahlstorfs, Beavers, and Osbirns. We ate good food, played Christmas bingo, sang carols, reenacted the Christmas story (the adults played the parts this year), and sang the 12 days of Christmas. We always have such a great time making memories with our friends. On Christmas morning, the kids were up before the sun.....literally at 6:44am! We stumbled to see what Santa had brought and the kids were so excited! Kendall got loads of Lululemon clothes and a pair of GGDB shoes, Sam got a RC car, and Kat got a hoverboard and a Really Rad Robot! They loved all of their gifts. We then waited a couple of hours before we opened our gifts under the tree. It drove the kids crazy to have unopened gifts under the tree! Later in the afternoon, we headed to Clarksdale to celebrate Christmas with Scott, Billy, Taylor and Carson. Hunt and his kids surprised us by coming down and staying the night to play and visit. A fun (and wild time) was had by all! We then celebrated with Mimi and all the Stovall crew on Sunday. We ate ravioli, played bingo, dirty Santa, and enjoyed everyone's company. However, apparently someone had the "Gift that keeps on giving" and 9 of us ended up with Covid to finish out the year... Here's hoping for a better 2022!
