After Christmas morning at McQuays, we packed up our stuff, and drove 10 minutes over to my Mom's house to stay for the duration of our trip.
Uncle Dan is the best and is always reading to the girls.
We had a delicious Christmas feast at Mom's house....
And then a second round of Christmas!
Evette also picked out a necklace for Mimi
The girls got little Mexi dresses!!!! I was so excited I cried! Yes, I do cry a lot. It's happy, usually.
Miriam was a goof and insistent on wearing all of the new clothes gifted to her...
We finished the early evening with pie and ice cream and the Nativity movie. It was fun to watch it with the girls - Evette had a lot of good questions. Good way to end the Christmas day.
Back in 2000, Cherrios came out with some Millenios and had an idea for a time capsule on the back. So we did it as a family! A questionnaire for each of us to answer, some voice recordings, etc. We opened it back up and redid the same things in 2006. Now, after mom moved into her new house, she found it! So, nearly 10 years later, we opened it Christmas night. SOOO funny to go through those things and see how different life is now. Boy, was I an angsty teenager or what? Sorry about that, y'all! One of the questions was: "What is one thing about yourself that you could change?" My answer: Everything. HAHA! Oh teenage self, I wish you were kinder to yourself. Anyways, It was interesting to go back and see what was important to us, if any of our predictions for the future were accurate, etc.
So, we answered some questions, did a voice recording, etc. It was fun! We've added a calendar reminder on Dec 25, 2020 to think about the time capsule and when we should open it again! That way we won't forget about it again.
Happy Christmas Day!!!
