Sunday morning before Christmas.
Christmas Eve was spent at D's parents with his sibling and all the cousins. The kids acted out the Christmas story while Uncle Michael read the account from Luke.
We then went home and did the tradition of opening one gift which is always Christmas pj's.
Christmas morning was different as it was our first time to stay home and not have anyone else around. It was quiet, but so nice to have a whole day just us with nothing else to do but enjoy each other. For breakfast we had an egg casserole and stuffed french toast (which is becoming a Christmas breakfast tradition).
Thank you Uncle John and Aunt Kristina!
J's "big gift" from us was an archery set (suction cup of course). He loved it and even let sister give it a try. She caught one right away, which of course made daddy very proud. (He's wearing a Happy Birthday Jesus crown that he got from church)
E's "big gift" was a dollhouse that we "commissioned" from D's grandfather. D and I painted it, which was fun for me to play interior decorator ;) I don't know what the goofy smile is all about down below.
Thank you Grandma Linda! We bought our first books and still have $$ left to go back for more!
SO, now that Christmas is past we are in baby prep mode. D has assembled the crib and as you can see he had plenty of help. It's been wonderful to see the Lord provide. On New Year's Eve we went to visit friends and they gave us a car seat, bouncy seat and bath tub. All of which I needed! Now we can technically have the baby though there are a few things I'd still like to get done.
