Christmas 2011

Christmas morning started bright an early at 5:45- well it was still dark outside so maybe not the bright part….. the girls came downstairs with their eyes closed.  Santa doesn’t wrap his gifts.  Izzy got a dress-up chest and 2 dress up outfits.  Piper got a baby doll cradle and a backyardigans circus set.  Seeing their excitement is so fun!!

After our presents we set up the birthday cake for Jesus.  DSC_0026DSC_0030

We sang and then blew out the candles “cause Jesus is up in heaven and can’t blow out the candles himself”

We also played several new games, read books, and took a long nap!  In the evening we went over to a friend’s house and had dinner and some fun time hanging out together.   Thanks for hosting us Spence’s! 

It was a wonderful day!  We went through the Christmas story several times and enjoyed talking about our Savior with our kiddos.  God has been so good to our family.  We are blessed!!!
