Christmas Review

Our Family Christmas in review. . . starts with a few traditions. . .

We started our Christmas Eve celebrations with our annual Christmas Eve service at Church, which includes the Lords Supper and the lighting of the Birthday Cake, I love this and this year I snuck a picture of it lit!














When we came home from Mom's house that evening we got Santas cookies & milk ready and went out to put the reindeer food on the grass for the reindeer. Gavin really got into that this year, he wanted to sprinkle it all around so they would be sure to share!


































Christmas morning was wonderful, Santa left Gavin some great gifts, including exactly what he asked for. . . a big firetruck! His three gifts this year were Rescue Heroes, Firetruck and a soccer goal. And of course lots of goodies in his stocking!!


































We then went to have Christmas Breakfast with our family and received lots of more great presents and had a great morning. The day concluded with dinner with extended family.





























We had a very nice Christmas. We, once again, were abundantly blessed with lots of wonderful gifts. I'm so thankful for everyone that thought of us. My family spoiled us once again and I recieved so many nice and wonderful things from my kids at Church and Preschool and so many of our friends. We are so very, very blessed.

Another thing that added to our Christmas this year was that Daddy was off work and home with us for 12 days this year. We had a great and long break and were able to spend lots of time together as a family. We all greatly enjoyed it.
