Christmas at Home

Santa came early to our house this year. The night before we decorated cookies for Santa and left out reindeer food and carrots. We spent some more time emphasizing the real meaning of Christmas and read the scriptures where it tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The kids opened their Christmas Eve gift then we read another Christmas book and sent the kids to bed. It's nice having kids who stay in their bed so they fell asleep before too late and since most of the presents had previously been wrapped set up wasn't too much work.

Christmas morning was so exciting. It was Liam's first Christmas!!! We love him so much! The girl's each got what they asked Santa for: a princess castle for Kate and a baby for Abby. Santa even brought a surprise gift of scooters for the girls. Those have been a huge hit. They ride their scooters all the time, mainly all around our downstairs. This officially convinced Jason that when Liam has learned to walk, on soft carpet, we need to put all hardwoods downstairs. The kids played all day with their new toys and each other. It was truly a wonderful Christmas!

Happy 1st Christmas Liam!
