After Christmas Eve service, the McDivitt's have a tradition of opening one gift. The rest of the night is spent together playing games, eating yummy treats, and watching family videos/old slides and a movie. This year was no different, except that it was even sweeter because my fiance was there to experience it all with us.
I get more excited about giving gifts, rather than receiving them, especially at Christmas. This year, my labor of love was a tee-shirt quilt for my sister. She mailed me a box of her favorite high school shirts (from choir, student council, volleyball, cross-country, basketball, and tennis) and my dear friend Jenna patiently tutored me for over 20 hours as we put together my first ever quilt. Jenna and I got our quality time in, and it turned out quite nice. Seeing Morgan's face when she opened it was the best of all!
In the morning we listened to Christmas music and opened stockings and the rest of the gifts. Then we had a delicious brunch. Per recent tradition, we all wore or matching "Christmas begins with Christ" green and yellow shirts. Though we couldn't find the exact same print, Parker got his own Christian bookstore graphic tee-shirt. Somehow he got a nicer blue color.
