What a merry Christmas it was for the Gilmores here in Tennessee! Emmy loved all of her gifts. We let her open all of her things first. She was in a good mood, and we were more excited for her gifts than our own, anyway. Cory and I got some great gifts, though! I have a new book to start reading.
Cory has some hair to straighten! Thanks to everyone who sent us gifts. I hope you can forgive us that we didn't take pictures of each individual gift.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing, and calling family. A few Skype sessions were mixed in, too.
Cory had planned to make enchiladas for dinner, as a continuation of one of her childhood traditions. I was excited for them, but the time came to start prepping and we realized we didn't have ground beef. In case you didn't know, grocery stores aren't open on Christmas. So we shed a few tears and put it behind us. We ended up going to a Chinese buffet. It was pretty good.
Emmy's first Christmas with the family was a great one. I can't wait to do it again next year. We hope you and yours enjoyed the holiday season, and were able to give/receive some meaningful gifts. I have tried to get through the entire month without ever saying, "reason for the season", but we do want to share one last video with you. Traditions can be fun for a family, but the Savior should be our focus at this time of year, and always.
Merry Christmas, from the Gilmores!
