Our Christmas and Christmas Eve were delightful. On Christmas Eve, we spent the day as a family. It was a low key day as I spent the day cooking and getting ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Dinner. The kids played outside in the snow and made a darling snowman. They called him Olaf.
After making their snowman and playing the snow, the kids came in and enjoyed warm cocoa with marshmallows. We spent the majority of the day watching Christmas movies and being together.
We have a tradition on Christmas Eve were the kids get to open up one present from Mark and I. We always get the kids new jammies to wear to bed. The kids looked so festive in their new jammies and they seemed to like them. The kids also get to open up a present from each other. I love this tradition because the kids take great care in shopping for each other. It is so cute to see how thoughtful they are towards one another!
After P.J.'s it was time to read the Christmas Story about Jesus' birth from Luke 2 in the Bible. We also read some other fun Christmas Stories. After stories were read, the kids laid out cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for Rudolf and off to bed they went.
In the morning, I was able to capture this photo before the kids woke up. Santa Came!! We were very spoiled! I think his sleigh may have tipped over in our living room!
Christmas Morning we spent unwrapping gifts and trying out the new toys.
The kids got incredibly spoiled from Santa, Grandparents and mom and dad!
. Karmindy asked for a cupcake maker, a Lalaloopsy doll, and some clothes for her stuffed bear. Santa also surprised Karmindy with her very own vanity and some make up! Karmindy has loved her vanity and it is so fun to watch her sit at it and primp and put makeup on!
Kaleb also got spoiled. He had several requests for Christmas. His big request from Santa was an air soft gun. Santa spoiled Kaleb and got him an Air Soft Gun Kit complete with 4 guns, bb's, goggles and posters of zombies to shoot at with 3 friends. Kaleb was so excited! He also got Legos, and several Wii games.
We had a really nice Christmas this year. We love staying home each year and spending time as a family and remembering the true meaning of Christmas-Jesus Christ's Birth!
Merry Christmas!
