We have certain traditions every year.



The kids get new ornaments. One of Sugey'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.

~


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!
