baked our cookies, bars and candy...
shopped for an Angel family...
hung our decorations...
decorated cookie cut outs...
lit our advent candle... 
read Christmas stories...
ate lots of food...
introduced our children to some classic Christmas movies (which I'm sure will become a new tradition!)... 
had a Christmas Eve candle light dinner at home...just the 5 of us...
went to candle light service,gave gifts, received gifts, ate more food, visited with family who are close to our hearts but live miles away, ate even more food, said good bye to loved ones traveling home, played with new toys, stayed up late, slept in late and are working on re-discovering our living room floor.
We were able to enjoy both Christmas Eve and Christmas day at home just the five of us.
It was relaxing, peaceful and pretty close to Rockwell perfection.
The kids were impressed with the Christmas Eve candle light dinner....The Boy even said, "These are the kind of moments we're going to remember forever" PERFECT! That's just what I was hoping for.
Now it's time to clean up the mess, put away the decorations pay the bills and balance the checking account (EEK!!) and get ready for a new year.
