It's Christmas!!

Merry Christmas 2021 Family and Friends!
Caroling again this year with our McG Family!

Dropping off our Santa letters downtown! Drew even got a letter back this year from Santa. So special.


Luke taking pics :)

Night 1 of break: Have Ayrton and Zaydee stay the night!
Ellie, Luke and Drew had bought all of their family gifts from either the Santa Workshop at school or the Dollar Tree with their own money! We spent an afternoon wrapping gifts in their own little corners...







Thanks to Aunt Cathy I was off to the spa for a massage!
The kiddos spent a night with Uncle Tom and Aunt Cathy over break. It was perfect timing to give Ben and I a night to get everything together for Christmas! 
Christmas Eve Day: Let the Morin Christmas traditions begin!

Gingerbread houses!


Christmas Eve service at Woodside. The candlelight service is my favorite!





Putting the finishing touches on our houses...



Putting the vote out to our family!
Making Reindeer food!

Writing notes to Santa and getting the milk and cookies ready!




Christmas jammies and saying adios to Bob Thomas!
And reading with Dad, Twas the Night Before Christmas!

Santa left a note!
And Bobby T did too!



My girl.


I got the Covid text at about 2:30 that our neighbor had tested positive. I had a little cough that week and had a hoarse voice but because we're all vaccinated and boosted and with a mild cough didn't think much of it. And then I tested positive. Everyone was coming to our house at 4, so at 2:30 Ben had to send the text. No party tonight and no UP tomorrow. Such a bummer but we made the most of the days together at home. 

Seeing Papa and Gma in our driveway for Christmas!
Opening gifts with Aunt Cathy and Uncle Tom via Zoom. 
Not the way we wanted it to go, but I am learning during this season, to be grateful for what we do have and count our blessings each and every day.
Merry Christmas!
