Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!  I love when Christmas lands on a Sunday.  It's a little stressful in the morning, just trying to get ready for church, but I think that it makes the day feel a lot more special.  Our kids were very excited to get up and open their presents, and I am glad that we were able to think about  Christ this special morning.  See that picture in the background?  We tried keeping that up to help us remember what is truly important.  (next year I'm going to buy a book called "a Christ-centered Christmas")

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I know we did.

The kids checking out their bounty.

Grace was excited about her Tangled doll...

Santa brought roller skates and roller blades for each child (except Gage and Lilah).  They were pretty excited.  Let me tell you what I was excited about.  Tinkertoys, Lego's and Lincoln Logs.  I LOVE picking all of those up on a regular basis.

Gage playing with his cars...

 Grace and her roller skates.  Just ignore the hair on the wheels.  Our carpet is obviously not too clean.  That's just how we roll I guess.

Morgan and HER roller blades...

Ah.....cars.  They sure love them.

Grace again....(PS those Wuggle Pets?  Total rip off.)

My present from Santa....

Cute Lilah....wondering what the heck we're all doing...

I think Morgan was the most excited for her "white board" that she received from Santa.

And here we are....all ready for church.  Can you tell Gage had a fun morning?

Merry Christmas!
