This year we made a decision that we needed a little different pace for Christmas and stayed home. It did mean that some traditions were changed a bit but it still turned out to be a great Christmas for This Jones Family.
We had received our Christmas gift from Greg's dad and Evelyn a little early, it meant that we had lots of time over Christmas break to try it out. A ping pong table for the basement! It's already gotten so much use and has brought so many laughs and smiles....maybe a little yelling and screaming as well but we'll keep that part a secret!
Christmas Eve was spent staying close to home. We started out by going and taking some pictures down at the Broadmoor. Love the lights and festivities there!
Then we drove around to look at some of the Christmas lights around town.
We settled at home making Gingerbread houses....Also with me being tortured by my brother and the kids with being tickled...I HATE being tickled!!
It was a nice quiet evening at home ending with comfy new PJ's, cozy socks, cuddles on the couch watching a Christmas movie and Santa being left some tea and crackers (I guess Santa likes that these days!).
Christmas Day started with Greg and I having to wake the kids up. I guess this is what happens when they get older but the excited to see what Santa had brought was still there. It was a great day with my mom, brothers and Papa and Marsha coming over to exchange gifts, relax and eat a wonderful meal.
The day ended with a family night out at the movies with the Iverson cousins.
Great 2014 Christmas!
