Christmas at the Cromwell's

Christmas was wonderful this year. We were able to meet up at gma and gpa Cromwell's house one last time before they headed off to Italy for a year! Christmas eve we all took part in a little program and each family was able to share what Christmas time meant to them. We all sang and participated in our own ways. We have some very talented people in our family. Then we opened up an early present and got the cutest pj's this year. We are all part of the team from Cromwell University!

 

Christmas morning was full of excitement as it should be. The kids were so excited to see what Santa brought! Bows and Arrows were the big hit. Christian loved his race car set and wanted to rip it open the minute he say it but we had to wait till we got home and he was not happy about that! Julia loved all the "Frozen" items she got. A new doll and a shirt. Its her new favorite movie and princess. Santa let me know that he wanted us to have a little something more when we got home and so he left our stockings all safe and full for when we got home. That was so nice of Santa to call and tell me about his surprise. The kids were so excited to still have more to open when they got home from gma and gpa's house.

Crepes for breakfast is our Cromwell family tradition! Yummy! The rest of the day was lounging about, playing games and of course eating. Andy and Whitney's family came up the next day and we were able spend some time with them as well. We were even able to get family pictures done before we all went our separate ways. Its always fun to have the whole family around, good times and good memories.

This new year will certainly be different with out gma and gpa Cromwell here but we know they will be serving the Lord and the people of Italy! They will be great missionaries. We will certainly miss all the summer fun and being able to visit but it won't be for long. We will miss you greatly! And so the kids don't forget that gma and gpa love them, they got a special Christmas gift this year. A nice cozy blanket, and every time they wrap up in it they are getting a big hug from gma and gpa!
