Merry Christmas!

We have had a very nice Christmas. This morning we woke up to a lovely flurry of light snow. By 10am we were all up and about, deciding on breakfast options. We ended up with a homemade recipe for cinnamon rolls that was... well, unique. They were pretty gooey and sweet, which could be good in some people's eyes, but may be too much. It was a fun experience to make though, either way. After breakfast was through, the ham went into the oven and we made our way to the tree for the gift exchange. We had quite a few large, suspenseful packages that kept everybody on their toes and everyone was very happy and grateful for all of their lovely and thoughtful gifts. Most of all, we were happy to all be together having a fun time as a family. The smell of  ham was starting to permeate the house so we made all the fixings and sat down to a feast of champions: ham, corn, carrots, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and hawaiian rolls. Feeling full and friendly, we played a family game of heads up, leaving us with two champions in Sarah and Dad. Matt then informed us that the final showing of the day of Frozen would be at 4:10-- in just half an hour! Everyone flurried to get ready and we quickly shoveled the snow off the driveway and sidewalks and made it to the movie on time. It was a cute film, though I didn't stay awake through the middle (not a surprise, with my track record). We came home and spent a little individual time for ourselves-- Sarah and I took a nap, so I can't really say what the others did. It was a nice Christmas Day for the Wilhelm family in snowy Greenville. ~Mary
