Merry Christmas!
On Christmas eve, we went to church and enjoyed hearing about God's love from Father Joshua. We sat on the first row and the kids behaved pretty well. They were a little grumpy because we had to wake them from their nap to go so we didn't get a picture. Audrey wore her beautiful navy dress that Andy bought while in Ireland earlier this year. We let them open one gift each. Matthew opened up a set of Dr Seuss books and he read "Hop on Pop" without hardly any help! We were amazed. Audrey opened up her new doll pajamas with big girl pajamas to match. She was so excited and changed into them right away!
It was a fun Christmas day at the Bruce household. Matthew was the first one to wake up and he kept looking outside to see if it was light out so he could get out of bed. Audrey is still adjusting to her new bed so I had to sleep in there for part of the night. The kids enjoyed tearing through their presents. Matthew was able to read the names on the tags so he passed out all the gifts. We ate a big second breakfast with ham and eggs. Andy and Matthew put together the lego star wars while Audrey and I took a nap. She is finally getting well from her cold but I feel like I woke up with another one - scratchy throat and all. 'Tis the season for colds!
Rusty and Roxy both enjoyed dog treats from Santa as well as canned food that they gobbled up quickly. The day after Christmas we sang Happy Birthday to Roxy. She turned 11 years old.
