Our Christmas Celebrations

  We started off celebration Monday night, Christmas Eve.  After dinner, we dined on cookies (saving a few for Santa), sipped on hot cocoa, and opened one present each; a pajama for us to wear that night (a tradition that Michelle and I had growing up).  After the presents were opened, wee popped popcorn and watched The Polar Express.
  The next morning we went through what Santa left and then munched on some cinnamon rolls.  After breakfast we dug into the other gifts.  During the kids' naps, it started snowing and by the time they woke up, there was quite an accumulation!  We dawned our winter gear and headed out to play, a first for the triplets. They loved it!  We joked about the difference in our kids; when Mig touched the snow, he started crying because it was so cold.  The triplets not only touched the snow, but pressed their hands into it...what do you expect when you have a group that's half Mexican and one that's half Russian.
  That evening we had a Christmas feast!  We dine on glazed ham, Mexican spoon bread, shredded brussels sprouts, roasted carrots, sweet potato casserole, broccoli pancotto, and rolls.  What a marvelous way to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
