We had a very Merry Christmas! Allie was very excited about Christmas morning and couldn't wait to open presents and see what Santa brought. Andrew and I have tried to come up with some new traditions to start with our family, one of them we didn't have time for this year is baking a birthday cake for Jesus and leaving a piece of that for Santa instead of cookies. Andrew read the Christmas story from the Bible Christmas Eve, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, and before we went into the living room on Christmas morning our little family gathered together to remember that today was Jesus' birthday and that He is the greatest gift of all. Santa left a note for the girls, then left them lots of fun things. I enjoy doing Santa for my girls, I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't know Santa wasn't real, but it was always lots of fun and I think my parents had fun too. Santa always brought us lots of gifts and since I get to be Santa now that's the way I do it with my children.
Their big gift was a doll house and that was the first thing they saw and went to when they came into the living room
Anna Grace was so excited about one of her gifts she put her hands on her cheeks and giggled
Opening presents
We had Andrew's parents, sister, and Grandma at our house Christmas morning. There were alot of presents and it took quite awhile for us to go around the room for everyone to open one present at a time, but we eventually got done. We all got lots of fun things for Christmas!
