We woke up to a White Christmas! It was so beautiful. It was so much fun to see Parker and Hannah's excitement on Christmas morning to see what Santa had brought them. This picture of Hannah by the Christmas tree is one of my favorite pictures...she is adorable.
Oh I forgot to mention that we woke up to Emily's homemade cinnamon rolls, which were delish!
Emily was very sweet and not only did stockings for her family but also for Dad, Mom, and I. Thanks Em!!!! One of my favorite parts of Christmas morning when I was younger was opening the presents out of my stocking. After stockings we opened presents. It was so much fun to see the kids so excited with each gift that they opened. The adults had fun opening presents also!
Dad sang "Oh Holy Night!" I got teary as usual!!!
It was so relaxing to hear Emily play Christmas songs!
For those who don't know, my family fondly refers to me as Ricki. The short version of how I got this name is while on a family vacation about 10 years ago in Yellowstone, I had a rather large off brand name clunky camera (the brand was Ricardo or Rickoli or something like that). Well I kept dropping it...I'm a little on the clumsy side. After that any time I would drop anything or trip, etc. my family would say "RICKI." It soon became my nickname, which I have embraced. Ricki also became a common family term. Anytime anyone does anything silly or whatever, we refer to them as Ricki. So to those I've called Ricki (probably all of you at one point) it is a loving term I use with those I care about.
For those interested, this blog will keep you updated on my life :)
