On Christmas Eve it started to snow and Carson came running over to me to tell me. He said, "Mom, it's snowing outside, it must be a Christmas miracle!" I had to laugh because it was so sweet. It doesn't snow much in Texas if at all and he thought this was a miracle to get snow for christmas. It helped him feel like the Christmas' he had experienced in the past. It was like a little bit of home here in Texas so I guess in a way, to him it was a Christmas miracle. I wish everything else could be so simple.
We told our kids they couldn't come down until 8 am (mean I know) since Payton wouldn't be awake yet, but by 7am the boys were downstairs oohing and awing over all the presents and what they thought might be inside each of them. By 7:30 we were opening presents. We were too tired to fight back.
We had to wake Payton up on christmas morning, so she was still sleepy when we brought her in the family room. We were so excited to see how she would react to opening presents and to seeing her pink coupe car, but she was still sleepy so we just set her in it and she just sat there for a while, then we tried to give her other presents to open, but she just wanted to sit there in her car, and to even think about trying to take her out of it was a mistake. She just screamed at us so we left her in it most of the day.
We were able to spend Christmas with my Brother and his wife before they move back to Utah in a few weeks. We are sad to see them leave, but are grateful we got to live by them for the year and a half. It was a blessing to us.
