Jerry & Barbara joined us. We laid out cookies and milk for Santa, and got the boys to bed by 8:15pm.
Santa actually visited the boys just before they fell asleep and gave them each a toy in person. Alex was so excited. Evan looked skeptical.
Christmas morning we set up the phone on the mantel and Facetimed my parents so they could watch the boys enjoy their toys from Santa. Evan did not seem interested in the Santa toys, but he did not want them on the couch where he likes to sit. He pushed them off onto the floor. Alex loved them all. After opening several gifts, he no longer wanted to open any. We finally talked him into opening the rest after he played with several new toys.
I cooked a breakfast casserole. We cleaned up and went to the 11am church service. The boys enjoyed the music. Vince's parents and Jerry's daughter Jenay (and her family) all gathered for Christmas dinner. Barbara fixed a great lasagna dinner. Alex asked me to make Jesus a chocolate birthday cake so that was our contribution to dinner.
It was a nice Christmas overall. I missed my family, but we are so thankful for technology that allows them to watch everything with us. Merry Christmas!
