The holidays this year was different for both of us than any other year. We made the decision to stay in Ruston for Christmas and we missed our families. It was good for us to celebrate Christmas together. It was nice to do things at our own pace and try to remember Jesus in the midst of the day. Here are some pictures of our adventures of Christmas without snow.
On Christmas Eve we walked to one of the churches in Ruston and after church we made a pizza. We had a quiet evening in our Christmas pajamas (a Madden tradition).
On Christmas morning we opened up our stockings and then made breakfast (blackberry scones and omelet). We opened up some gifts, went on a walk, and then went to have lunch with some friends. The day was peaceful and we just took the events as they happened.
What would Christmas pictures be without kitty playing in the fabric? An accurate picture would also include Kabuki chewing on ribbons and the tree...but the fabric pictures is a happier memory.
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration.
