Christmas is a special time here at the clan Daniel homestead. Not because of how crazy kids get about this holiday, though it is fun having young ones, but more importantly because we get to spend time with family and friends and celebrate the beginning of Gods plan of redemption for mankind. The Mrs. and I try to stress to the whipper-snappers what it is that we are truly celebrating. The birth of Christ is not as relevant as what took place on the cross but it did set the plan into motion and there are a lot of miracles to point out to the little ones of Gods mercy and control.
Christmas Eve dinner is always a different event as far as food goes. In years passed we have done appetizers only or made homemade pizza among other things. This year it was tamale's!
Since Mimi and Papa usually spend Christmas Eve with us the whipper-snappers get to open gifts on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
Of course that is no problem for them as they are all up to the task.
Christmas is special to all whipper-snappers but the younger ones really seem to enjoy it the most.
Sister was having quite a good time!
Young and old(er) alike have a good time. Funny, you give Papa a goofy hat and he's always ready to go. (see earlier posts)
Everyone enjoyed their gifts!
Christmas day we had a more traditional meal.
Reindeer food left out for Santa's herd. All gone Christmas morning!

We all had a wonderful time and hope that your families did as well!
