A Happy Christmas in Edinburgh

We had a beautiful Christmas Eve and a wonderful Christmas morning!

Last night Brandon, Graham and I went to St. Giles Cathedral for a candlelight carol service at 11:30. There were hundreds of people there and between the pipe organ and the choir, there were moments of absolute magic.

This is the view from our seats in church.



The Summers' boys clean up pretty good!

Thanks for the great photo taking skills Graham!


And this morning, we got up and attacked all the presents under the tree. And I have to say that for being so far away I sure feel a whole lot of love from our families. Graham brought along gifts from the Summers' and from my parents and brother too. And with all of that and the gifts we bought for eachother, there was quite the scene of wrapping paper carnage on the living room floor.

Our stockings were too full and heavy to hang by the fire!

The pre-unwrapping stage.

Brandon inspecting his lego Mater from Cars.
 
Graham putting together the spinner he bought me.

Simon Fish got a present too! And he loves it!

After all was opened.

A new yoyo!

And finally, Santa listened! These were under the tree! And I proceeded to wear them through breakfast.


Merry Christmas everyone! We hope everyone has had as great of a Christmas morning as we have.
