Christmas day dawned bright and beautiful. It felt like a blessing. The family I am from has not always found Christmas to be happy. We struggle with anxiety and other things and so it takes effort to be present and happy on this day. This year we all did a really wonderful job. The gifts were heart felt and the effort my dad put into the food for his family was so full of his heart and kindness. He was sick and he persevered. It was a such a special day for us.
My little family started the morning off with our stockings in our new house. They were excited.
My sister made my mom the most magical fairy art. It is incredible.
He really wanted an apple peeler and corer and a nurf gun and that is what grandma got him. His little cup of joy overflowed.
He didn't stand still much.
A yearly joke.

She didn't want to wear this Christmas dress but she did it for me.
My honorary sister made these amazing slipper booties for me. I LOVE them oh my word!!!
A fter our breakfast we do what ever we need to do until dinner. In my case I go home and clean like crazy as Christmas dinner is usually at my house. Then everyone arrives and we eat and visit.
This year I had room for a children's table. They are all growing up so quickly. Between my cousin and I we have nine children.
