Christmas Video of the Day!
Happy Christmas Eve Day! Here’s a double dose of Christmas music for
you to enjoy – regardless of what time of year you’re reading this part of our
archive journals!
Ethan:
We’ve had an awesome day! Tai Chi and breakfast for seven was a great
way to start our morning; even the guys had fun with the shopping morning –
thanks to picking up bakery treats and hanging out in the ‘fun’ stores; and
then we had lots of holiday food and play time fun from lunchtime through
dinner before heading for the church and the Christmas Eve service. That play time was with Cassie, May, and the
cousins; and then we had some family Christmas fun with Grandma, Grandpa, and
the Carringtons for a mini gift exchange that we do on the ‘away’ Christmas
years since we can’t do that with Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, Zack, and Brianna on
Christmas Day while their busy with Uncle Adam’s side of the family. That was another blast of holiday fun; Ehlana
and I had to play normal kids after our guests headed for their homes and got
ready for bed and put out the Olde Bakery treats for Sana and the reindeer; Dad
did a bedtime Christmas story with us; and then we were sent to bed so that we
can be sleeping before Santa gets to our town.
We definitely don’t want to have any last
minute problems that could get us into trouble with Santa, so that’s all I have
for tonight; since I really need to get to sleep before it’s too late! ;^)
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
The highlights of my Christmas Eve day
included Tai Chi and breakfast with Cassie, Michael, and May; all of the
shopping with the girls; the play time with our cousins; the church service and
Pastor John’s annual Christmas story message; and the gift exchange with our
aunt, uncle, and cousins. That’s pretty
much just repeating what Ethan’s already written about, but it isn’t the ‘what’
we’ve been doing that is so special – it’s the ‘who’ we’ve been doing
everything with. We’ve both really,
especially-loved getting to spend so much time with Cassie, Michael, and
May. We’ll get to play with them
tomorrow too, but we’ll also have to share them with Michael’s family too; so
we’ll likely be trading that for more time with Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa.
I do need to get to sleep before Santa gets
to town too, though, so that’s all for me tonight too; and I am out of here and
getting started on my short, Christmas Eve nap.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
