I think we have started a new tradition. Our kids, especially Aaron, get up so early on Christmas morning. We don't mind this, but 1 or 2 am is a little much. So Christmas Eve, we packed a picnic and headed over to the church. We brought a bag of all types of soccer balls, basketballs, playground balls. We ran and played! It turned into a game of soccer. The family verses Aaron. I think Cora was on his team because Joe and I were constantly scooping her up for her safety. I'm pretty sure Aaron won that game. Though last Monday when we were 'cleaning the church' (just an excuse to play when we are done with work!), Joe took him out. It is hard to win a soccer game when you are limping. But all is fair in love and family sports!
All this exercise worked. The kids slept in until 7:00, well Aaron got up at 3:00, went downstairs, unpacked his stocking, laid everything out in a nice row that was protected by Cora's teeter-totter. He then went back to bed.
All in all a successful outing!
