Christmas Day

My children put up the Christmas decorations this year while my husband and I were out.  It really is scary to think of how they have removed the giant, heavy picture from the wall.  However, they did do a wonderful job:

As usual, today is the day that we open all the Christmas presents.  Looking at their faces reminds me how much they have grown, and that they know how to share their love for each other now.  It is also nice to spend time with my friend from college (who I haven't seen in 8 years) and shop, and talk about old times. This itself is making this Christmas even more wonderful than it already is.
