Our Christmas!!!

Shew!!! I have been doing some fervent posting these past few days. Trying to get caught up before school starts back on Wednesday (boooooo!!!!). This is the final installation of our Christmas activities.

This season has been one of the best yet for our family. It was a very laid back, easy-going Christmas,  where we kept the focus on Jesus and not on things. Seeing our children really grasp this understanding of Jesus's birth and significance was amazing. Santa visits us each year, leaving a letter to the children and a few presents for Jesus's birthday party.

Our poor Joseph was sick on Christmas Eve. He spent the evening on the (wipeable) couch with a trash can near by. Praise be to Jesus that he was feeling MUCH better on Christmas day. A little tired, but able to enjoy his gifts, family, and festivities.

The children woke up and, instead of running to rip open presents, ran to grab their letters from Santa. My heart melted, and I was thankful to grab a few quick shots of them in their matching

All smiles!!

LOVED his new CD!!

Joseph received a new four-wheeler for Christmas, and it was exactly what he asked for. The trick was keeping his sissy off of it, because she was all about sitting on that thing :)!!!

Later during the day we went to celebrate with Nana and Papa at their house.

Loving her Bitty Baby.

Riding his 4-wheeler...this is SERIOUS :)!

 

A helmet for the new 4-wheeler.

Wrestlers...thanks to Nana and Papa

You can't tell by his face, but he was VERY excited!
