Christmas was great this year. We gave the kids bean bag chairs and they got a few presents from family in the States. (That is one of the advantages of living here!!)
When they woke up we did stockings- lots of candy, new toothbrush and toothpaste, and crayons with a coloring book. Then we ate breakfast. I always make gorilla bread. If you have never tried it it's a Paula Dean recipe. Try it!!! We opened presents slowly. The kids were really happy! Callie's favorite was an ipod. Noah's favorite was a real football. Lucy's favorite... well, the jury is out on that one. She was into everything!!! I gave Justin some movies that I found at a store on the other side, and he gave me some new earrings.
Later in the afternoon we had a big lunch. I did a turkey, creamed spinach, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and carrots. Also, Callie made a Happy Birthday Jesus cake in the afternoon. After our feast we took the kids over do some fun things at a place near us. The girls rode ponies, but Noah didn't want to. They all jumped on the trampoline until they collapsed! A great energy buster!!!
It was a great day. Low-key and family centered. Here are some pictures:

Christmas in March is exactly what was missing. I so enjoyed the pictures and comments. I am glad that the girls liked their purses.
