We had an amazing day. First the boys woke up at 6-wow. Next year we put a limit to the wake up time. We send them back to bed, until we got ready, (it takes Brandon a few minutes to get going without Mona-Vie :) Before opening any gifts we spend some time remembering the "reason for the season". Thank you God for Jesus!
The fam got a Wii. The boys spotted that right away. After we opened all our gifts we went to the "Retirement Home" across the street from our house and we sang carols and played games with some of the residents. Our Youth pastor set that up and I'm really glad he did. It's really important to remember that it is not about what we get, but what we give to others.
Mom and Joe came over with 3 huge bags full of presents for us. They spoil us rotten. For dinner Brandon smoked a ham. It was delicious. After dinner we spent time together playing the Wii (the Wii history says we spend 7 hrs playing all day), watching movies, just a quiet family time.
Pictures coming soon, as soon as I can figure out a problem with the slide show.
Love,
Keener Fam :)
