Christmas was Celebrated

With family.  With friends.  With loved ones.  With delicious eats.  And cute treats.  With glasses clinked in cheers.  With several uniquely beautiful trees.  With a squirt one year old who takes present unwrapping serious.  With the gift of a unicorn shirt from a sister-in-law who knows me well.  With an App which tracks Santa's location.  With crocheted booties from Nana or in my case, Momma Debi.  With meaningful gifts which brought tears.  With game playing laughter.  With cheese and wine late into the night with only talk of Santa from the small ones.  With holding the ones we love tight.  With Christmas jammers.  With a sunrise morning drive.  With pearl earrings for me.  With two little boys wearing new NDSU football gear with dimpled mischievious grins across their faces.  With their older sister who loves strong and deep.  With matching necklaces.  With twinkly lights.  With an awe inspiring church.  With family.  With friends.  With loved ones.

Just the way it should be.
