We started on Christmas Eve. A wonderful ham feast with all the trimmings, sweet time with Mom, Peter and Gena, Jaime and Diane and all the kiddos, gift exchange and cranium. What fun it is to hang out with everyone! Twelve children between our 3 families! We really should do it more. Then came Christmas morning. We read Luke 2 {the Christmas story} and then opened gifts with the kids! They were so full of joy and excitement. Lyla liked the sound of the crinkly paper :) Then more family for a huge breakfast and sweet fellowship. I love hearing Thomas and his dad sing hymns together! A very special moment indeed. After the kids had a nice long nap, we headed over to my mom's house where we were greeted with a mountain of gifts! Even Ethan's eyes were bulging! We had another fabulous feast with all the trimmings. Got to spend more sweet time with Grandpa and Grandma Stubb, Auntie Sandy and Uncle John, sweet miss Georgia and my Mom and Dad. This Christmas was so much fun with 3 kids! And yes they definitely got spoiled! But that's part of it :) They had such a blast. Elijah is still going on about how thankful he is for all his presents. And through it all my kids have a new favorite song...{Happy birthday Jesus. I'm so glad it's Christmas. All the presents and lights make the holiday nice but the real gift is you.} Guess they learned a little too :) Merry Christmas to you and yours! I hope it was as blessed as mine!
