Merry Christmas!

Well, the Diamond family must have been good this year!  It seems so stressful in the days leading up to Christmas.  Parties, gifts, shopping, concerts at school, etc, etc.  But, Christmas morning it is all worth it.  The rule in our house is that the kids can't come down the stairs until 7:00 a.m.  Not sure how we pulled that off, but it worked again this year!  But, at exactly 7:00, they bound down the stairs to see if Santa came!  Well, Santa left the kids a scavenger hunt this year, just to see how well they could work together.  It was really fun, and at the end, they all got really cool gifts!  Cade got a go-kart, Kennedi got a gymnastics bar and mats, and Carson got a rebounder to use out on the sport court.  The kids were happy and that makes us happy!  They did allow us to make a cup of coffee before we dove into more gifts, made breakfast, and poured mimosas!  These are the days I never want to forget.  I wish the kids would stop growing so fast!  I love the smiles, grateful hugs, squeals of delight and uncontrollable laughter!  Happy Birthday Jesus!
