Here are some highlights:
CHRISTMAS EVE
We visited the Dog Beach so Sofi could have some fun playing in the ocean and we could get some sun and enjoy the 70 degree weather. A definite surreal experience - hanging out on the beach with surfers Christmas Eve!
Our neighbors invited us over for soup, homemade bread and fruit compote. We had a pleasant evening. We did plan on going to the 9 p.m. Christmas Eve service at the local church but the baby thought I needed to go bed instead. Lance and I read the Christmas story from the New Testament while sitting in front of the Christmas tree instead. It was the most peaceful and spiritual experience I can ever remember having on Christmas Eve.
CHRISTMAS DAY:
We slept in and then woke up to exchange gifts.
I thought our tree turned out lovely this year. What do you think?
My favorite gift was the book Sofi gave me on how to prepare her for the baby.
Lance's favorite was the Zelda Princess Wii game he got. (Though, Santa didn't deliver the Wii until New Years Day).
Sofi's favorite was her new flying squirrel toy. Funny thing was she was able to pick it out of the packages under the tree. In fact, she dug through all the packages to find her squirrel then made a run for the door outside so she could play with her new treasure.
Sofi was upset that we had opened all the gifts. Here she is pouting under the tree.
Lance made homemade panacakes with fresh berries and whipped cream for breakfast.
My good friend, Margaret, had us over for a turkey lunch in the afternoon. We played her Wii and worked off some of the stuffing we ate.
We decided to use some of our movie passes we got as gifts this year to go see Disney's Enchanted movie. Four thumbs up!
