Every year Christmas day comes, and the Runyon family has already opened our gifts! We are notorious for not being able to wait until the actual day and often find ourselves opening our gifts on Christmas Eve. HOWEVER, this year we actually waited, ha! Since my sister-in-law's parents came in town, we were forced to wait until the actual day since we were splitting time. We were able to open Santa's gift first thing in the morning though. (Santa only brings one gift to the Tosic house)
That afternoon we read the Christmas story like we do every year, sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus, and opened our gifts. My parents really outdid themselves this year-they always do, but they really went a little overboard! I think the commercialism really got to a lot of people this year (my Dad especially) for some reason, and next year we will be forfeitting the gift part and giving to those who need it. We are truly blessed!

We had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a fabulous 2012!
So much fun! Was Lainey able to ride her bike on Christmas? We had warm weather here!
ReplyDeleteJust got caught up! I need to put your blog on my phone because I am never on the computer anymore! Glad you like the stickers! I've seen the month ones, but not those. We will have to get some, too! I am not seeing Lainey in Lilly at all! I'm sure it's just the pictures, and I'm sure when as she gets a little bigger and chunkier, she will, but right now, I don't see it! I'm glad y'all had a good Christmas!
