Today was a beautiful day. My one wish was to be able to stay home today. I did not want to have to take the children anywhere after they woke up and opened their presents. I thought it would be nice to allow Mariana to stay here and enjoy Christmas day together here. I got my wish. I hosted a dessert celebration. The family came to me and I stayed up all night baking yummy treats for them. I made two weight watchers recipe desserts that were fantastic, if I do say so myself. We had pumpkin roll, cookies, pies, a cake, and a jelly roll. It was delicious here.
During dessert we all exchanged gifts and enjoyed being together. It was the first thing I've hosted where so many were over. I greatly enjoyed it. The mess however was not terribly fun, lol. Beth stayed and practically cleaned my kitchen by herself... I was incredibly grateful for this. The gift exchange was lovely. I'm very grateful to everyone for the gifts we've received and more grateful for the gift of everyone.
Phillip and I feel that God has truly blessed our family. I hope that all of you feel the same way.
Happy Birthday Jesus.
