Yule!!!

Yule is our favorite holiday.

We visit with Santa.

Decorate the tree...

We have certain traditions every year.

The kids get new ornaments. One of Sugey's!

Ryan's

Daryn's

~

One more Sugey ornament.

~

Kailen's

~

We also have a nice big Yule dinner.

~

And of course open presents!

We give pajamas, perfume/cologne and some knitted items. Yule presents mean more than the ordinary holiday toys. They are given from the heart.

The boys got matching hats!

Kailen is always happy with weaponized gifts!

A drawing set for Daryn.

Of course I can't list every gift the kids got. What means the most to me is hearing them say that Yule was their favorite holiday because they knew how much I loved them. To be with my children, that is the best gift in the world. Every moment spent with them is a gift.

Happy Yule!
