Day After Christmas Tuesday, December 26, 2006

What a wonderful holiday we had! Two days of purely doing nothing. Saturday we painted pottery thanks to gift certificates Oma gave us over the summer at The Mad Potter. Sunday and Monday we literally did nothing except for open gifts, play games, eat Christmas breakfast just like Grandma's with bacon, sausage, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy (I just realized we forgot the eggs!) and Christmas dinner with ham, bacon and feta green beans, and sweet potato souffle, and enjoy the feeling of not having to do anything.

I'll leave you with pictures from the week before Christmas when we went to see the Walkway of Lights with our tenant, Art. It was a warm 80 degrees that day! Art paid the carollers at the hot chocolate stand to sing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the boys got to see Santa again, although Shawn insists that is not the real Santa because he didn't have the right boots on. According to him the Santa at Lakeline Mall is the real Santa because he had black cowboy boots. The Santa at Lakeline Mall is so good I just have to agree with Shawn on that one. Shawn also saw the big Christmas Tree made out of lights and informed us, "I know no one is bigger than that tree. Only God is bigger." I love the looks of wonder on their faces as they look at the lights.
