Christmas!

Christmas was so fun!  I dressed Charlie and Adella up (yes again) and we opened presents with my parents on Skype- oh how I love technology!   They really didn't get it, but did enjoy their new presents!

And then we had breakfast!  Oh how I love Christmas morning breakfast!   Growing up we always went to Grandma and Grandpa Heck's for Christmas breakfast and Grandma would make just about everything - and if she didn't and you asked for it, she would make it!   It was always amazing - and she did it mostly by herself!  Since we couldn't be with them this year, we decided to do it ourselves.  Luckily all of Adam's siblings that live here in AZ could join us too.   We had bacon, sausage, ham, eggs Benedict  scrambled eggs, potatoes, orange rolls, fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, milk and hot chocolate!  Yummy!!!

After breakfast we were able to use Google+ to video chat with Adam's parents in the Dominican Republic where they are currently serving a mission as well as Mike and Emily in North Carolina and Daniel in Wisconsin.   It was amazing we could all be 'together' at the same time though we were far apart.  The grand kids exchanged names this year and opened gifts- it was so fun to watch my oldest nieces and nephews get so excited about their gifts.  It's going to be so magical in a few years when Charlie and Adella are a little older!

Merry Christmas!
