So, on Christmas morning in the Barbee house, when Levi woke up at 6:30 am, he and I got up and began our preparations for the day. Luckily, he didn't seem to notice all of the gifts under the tree that "Santa" had brought for him and his sister.....but that was okay, right then I really didn't have time to play.
We began cooking sweet potatoes and making our pie crusts, and soon it turned 7:00 and still no one was awake, Amelia Grace usually never sleeps this late, so I turn on the computer to look up my Cranberry pecan pie recipe and Jason begins to stir. Levi and I were getting hungry and really wanted to go ahead and began making our Christmas breakfast of Pancakes and bacon, so at 7:30 when Jason woke up and then woke up Amelia Grace we were reallyhappy.
But then the most puzzling thing happens...when Amelia Grace wakes up and comes into the family room, she doesn't even say anything about the brand new bicycle or the Tinkerbell doll that "Santa" worried himself to death over finding the exact one that she wanted, or any of the other toys that were under the tree. All she wanted was pancakes and bacon and to know why Santa didn't eat all of his cookies, and if we left him any milk? After breakfast though she warmed up to the toys that she was given and I think she wasn't actually sure that they were hers. Levi on the other hand just dove right into his toys I think he was just excited to get trucks and cars, and barns with farm animals, real boy toys, he couldn't take it all in. it was fun to have an 8 month old at Christmas time.
All in all I believe this Christmas was the best that we have ever had as a family...we have our son and our daughter. We have a wonderful set of brothers and sisters and all the family that goes with them and our parents are all doing great. We truly couldn't ask for more....our whole entire family is so very blessed....those are truly the best gifts we could ever ask for.
