What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. Christmas Eve we had dinner at Justin and Michelle's home and had a great time singing karaoke! Later that night we came over to our home and watched Christmas Vacation (a long time Keisel Family tradition) Jared and Leslie and the girls came by to visit as well. It was fun to have family in our home on Christmas eve. Later that night we opened our new pajamas and got ready for bed. Before going to bed the girls went out and sprinkled the "Magic Reindeer Dust" that Santa had sent them. It consists of of oats and glitter that you sprinkle on your lawn. The smell of the oats will guide the reindeer right to your house. The glitter will sparkle and shine in the moonlight to help Santa find a safe spot to land. As you sprinkle the magic dust you think about the very first Christmas. Oats were used to feed the animals that surrounded Baby Jesus in the manger and the sparkle of the glitter reminds us of the bright star that appeared in the heavens on that special, sacred night.
Christmas morning we waited and waited for our kids to get up. Addy finally got up at about 8:30am and went and woke up Gracie. There is nothing like the magic kids bring Christmas morning. It was so fun to watch our girls open their gifts from Santa and the appreciation they showed for them. Faith was a blast this year too. It was her first Christmas and I think she could get used to the idea of it all, except for sitting on Santa's lap.
Later that day we faced the roads and made our way out to Grantsville. It was so great to be able to spend Christmas Day with our families. We love you all very much and hope that you had a very Merry Christmas!
