December 25

I don't know why but Jeremy and I woke up first before any of the kids. We just sat under a tree and enjoyed the stillness of the moment.
When everyone woke, we opened the presents. Sonia enjoyed wrapping the night before and she loved tearing the paper and playing with her new toys. Thank you, Heather, for a lovely doll in the purse. Sonia loved all her presents.
We had cinnamon rolls with apple cider and played and played until it was time to drive to Babulya's home for Christmas dinner.Sonia's rocking in the chair and enjoying herself. I love this shot ;-)Then she helped Babulya to open her presents. Two pals. We had such a great night.A real winter storm awaited us on the way home. Our poor little car was struggling to make it up big hills; snow covered all the road and street signs; car wheels were spinning and Jeremy lost control of the car for a split second. We lost all our bearings and drove without knowing what direction we headed. Eventually we made it to Grandma and Grandpa's and then safely home.

My husband and I woke up first before the kids too. We just sat on the couch and talked by the tree. It was nice! We also had to deal with the snow storm. it was so crazy!
