Merry Chriatmas!

The excitment that I feel for Christmas now is so much different now that we have kids. To watch their little eyes light up as they open thier gifts. At our house we do things a little different. For Christmas we really try to focus on the true meaning of the holiday. We only give M and K 3 gifts each. B and I don't do gifts for each other at all. We really want our children to know that Christmas isn't about what you get. It's about Christ and his perfect example and life. We try to teach them that it is far better to give than to recieve. These are pictures of Christmas morning. K got a boy baby. He always wants to carry around one of M's dolls, so he got his own. M is showing off her princess jewlery. Then the top picture is them playing with their toys. The whole day was awesome! We are so thankful that we get to live so close to extended family and that we were able to go see them and visit them on Christmas. We hope that this coming year you are able to have the happiness and peace that comes with remembering Christ.
