This Christmas is very exciting to my children because both sets of grandparents are here! Grandma & Grandpa (Kulp) arrived at our house Thursday morning and Nana & Pa (Kaplan) arrived lunchtime today. We enjoyed a Christmas Eve lunch at Bellacinos after Nana & Pa got into town. Then, for dinner the children helped make Christmas-shaped beignets which we all enjoyed. Everyone watched Charlie Brown for a few moments and then it was on to opening presents. Since there were so many presents this year, they were each allowed to open three tonight. After presents were opened and played with, we set out milk and cookies for Santa and carrots and oats for the reindeer. Grandma and Nana read stories and tucked the children into bed. Merry Christmas everyone! May the magic of the season bring you and your family joy.
