Santa apparently knew what to leave at our house. Isaac got a play kitchen. Hopefully, this will let him "help" cook without grabbing any actual kitchen knives or pots. Claire got one of the few things that actually matters to her...food. We also gave her a new play mat. Isaac gave her a plush duck for Christmas, which he's tried very hard to get her to play with. He pretends the duck is licking her face like we do with his stuffed puppy.
This morning was probably the last Christmas for a while that we were the first to get up. I'm not sure Isaac realized he was going to open presents until we handed him the first wrapped gift. We were able to get up, make coffee, make cinnamon rolls, and feed Claire before I went to get Isaac out of his room. It'll never happen again, but we enjoyed it immensely. He's currently engrossed in a Charlie Brown movie that was left in his stocking.
Last night, we had a really good turnout at the Christmas Eve Service on SHAPE. The road condition was listed as "black," so we were pretty unsure how many people would make it. The praise band didn't get to practice until an hour beforehand because several of them had been snowed in. Hopefully the service was a worshipful time.
Dinner is marinating in the fridge now, so everything is ready for friends coming over this evening. Nothing to do for the next few hours but relax, watch some Christmas movies, and nap after a late night last night.

We have had a wonderful Christmas and having you on skype to play dirty santa was just wonderful, so thankful for technology. We have looked at the pictures of Isaac opening presents several times and enjoyed it everytime. I think all you brothers have seen them today. Again Merry Christmas to you all and we pray God's richest blessings in the New Year. With much love,
