Christmas

I LOVE Christmas!! I LOVE everything about it!! Celebrating Jesus, giving, music, eating baked yummies, warm fires, lights, snuggling with family, celebrating with friends, watching my favorite Christmas movies...the list goes on and on!

Always Christ first!!

Our ugly mis-shaped tree. :) We usually get ours in the moutains, but this year, since we went to Disney, we just went to the store. However, like my mom said, Christmas will still be Christmas, even with an ugly tree. So true!

Can you believe I got them all to sit still and smile!?! Even Zander!

Zander had to open this one first. It had a little stuffed bear on the outside and he wanted it so badly. Grandma made him a blanket and when the other kids saw it they wanted to open theirs right away.

Zander and his blanket

Connor was so excited to get his blanket. He loved it!



He went and gave Grandma a kiss to thank her for the blanket.



Madison didn't want to let go of her blanket, not even to open more presents.

Ellie got her baby alive. She had been talking about that for a month. That is what she really really wanted.

Connor was so excited with his gift's. With each one he would yell oooh and aaahhh and all right!

Look at the excitement on Connor's face! He was ripping the paper off and saying "oh my goodness!"

And lets remember that Jesus is the WHOLE reason that we celebrate!! And He is the reason we give. But lets not let Christmas be the only time we give and celebrate! Let our giving and celebrating last all year round.
