Christmas has been so much fun this year! It is so cool that having a child brings out the child in you again during Christmas. Audrey Grace of course didn't understand about Santa, but she knows he says HO HO HO! She would even sing a song about him. She would sing something and then HO HO HO, it was really cute. She loved all the
yights (lights). Everywhere she pointed was to
yights or HO HO HO! She loved to look at our Christmas tree and point at the ornaments. She never tried to pull them off or mess them up. We have a nativity set. We would sit down with her and talk about Baby Jesus and the
Christmas Story. After a few days she started saying Jesus or something like it anyway. She would stand at the nativity and play with the figures. Really sweet and I hope by doing this yearly she will understand the true meaning of Christmas early on.
On Christmas Eve, we stayed home. Ryan, Audrey Grace and I put a gingerbread house together. As much as I wish I could say how fun it was, it wasn't. It was a sticky mess and Audrey Grace kept wanting to eat the small hard candy. Not a good idea for an 18 month old.
Mark, Dru, Hunt and Hank came over to eat a steak dinner and open presents. The boys are so sweet to Audrey Grace and she is so unsure of them. I don't know why but she eventually warms up about the time they go home. We enjoyed spending our Christmas Eve with the Holdiness's!
