Christmas

We were all very excited about Christmas this year. We've baked cookies, made plays, and colored tons of pictures. We even had two trees. One with the symbols of the true meaning of Christmas, and one just for fun.

For Christmas Eve we invited people over for dinner or snacks. we played, visited, and the girls put on a play, and sang songs. We had a full house, and it was wonderful.

When everyone left, we read a story, and opened one present. Here are all the kids in their new PJs Christmas Eve.

We also started a new tradition of waiting until Christmas Eve to put the angel on the tree.

Christmas Morning Santa and Mrs Claus arrived to share more presents. They didn't arrive when the kids got up, that was a little too early for them.

By 4:00pm the house was full again. We had 15 people for dinner. We did it differently this year, and ate some at the table, and some on the couches instead of setting up wall to wall tables. It was a wonderful day.
