We didn't have a very functional camera on Christmas, so we don't even have pictures yet to post of Christmas Day. We did a Christmas Eve morning of surprises in our boots, gifts and Jesus' birthday celebration at our house, then headed to Grandma & Grandpa McMahan's for Christmas Eve service, dinner, and Christmas Day with the McMahan's. There were lots of pictures taken, just none on our camera!
Lauryn enjoyed herself immensely! She was, of course, interested in the gifts, but not all that much. We really try to not give her too much, and we try to make it as much about Baby Jesus as a 1 1/2 year old can understand. She was more into being a "ham" with her new toys than anything else. We truly enjoy her spunky little personality (most of the time!)..
We didn't get Lauryn's picture with Santa. Quiet honestly, the time just got away from us, and when we had an opportunity, the line was nearly 2 hours long. There is a song "Where's the line to see Jesus?" by Becky Kelley, and it completely summarized our experience. Instead of waiting in line to see Santa, we headed to the local church with a life-sized Nativity scene, and got right in to get a picture with baby Jesus. No wait, in fact, people saw us and looked at us a bit strange, but no one thinks it is strange to wait 2 hours to see Santa.
Excited for the Gruis' Christmas in January, as Lauryn will have cousins to play with!
