Christmas Eve Day

Christmas Eve Day we were going to take the kids to the movie.. and they were closed.. Guess thats what happens when you go to the $2.00 theater.. Camden couldnt understand why they were closed, but we went inside the mall.. ( ya I thought we were crazy too) and they rode the carousel. We checked out the Santa line, but was quick to turn back.
We picked up McDonalds happy meals and went to the cemetary to have a picnic with Kyndal. The boys were really well behaved and we had family prayer there. I said it this time, and of course was emotional thinking of Kyndal. Once we got in the car, Camden was not buckled in his car seat yet, and saw my tears. He patted my shoulder and said " I miss Kyndal too". That's all that was said. I love that kid.
The presents are wrapped.. ( camden wondered what we were getting Kyndal).. treats are baked.. last minute groceries purchased and we are off to the Acuna's house for tamale dinner and games. One thing Blades and I realized this year is that we really miss our family. Most of our friends around here have family too, so they talk of all the family dinners, gift exchanges and going to everyones house Christmas Eve and Day. We are thankful that the Acuna's invited our rambuctiousness to join them. Treats have been arriving at our doorsteps and the lbs are already starting to attach .. i can tell already :)
We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
Love the Whites!

Hope Christmas Day was peaceful for you. I know for us it was and though we missed Kai and thought of him so often our hearts were at peace.
