Christmas Memories

We had a beautiful Christmas.  The only problem was that hubby was sick in bed.  He was able to get out of bed by the next afternoon and had a belated celebration with the kiddos.

Christmas started for us on Christmas Eve with church.  It was SO beautiful!  The kiddos were decked in their best attire.  :-)

Celebrating Christ's birth is always special, but when you hear hundreds of people all singing carols together with all of the splendor around you, it is very touching and makes it all hit home.  The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us......


What really impressed me on Christmas morning is that the children didn't want to go see their gifts until they exchanged with each other.  Isn't that awesome?  They went out shopping with my mom, as I mentioned in a previous post, to buy gifts for each other.  Kiddo #4 made everyone a homemade gift in sewing class.

Kiddo #1 didn't want to buy Kiddo #2 a gift.  He wanted to make him a gift.  He designed a cabinet himself and enlisted hubby's help to make the sketches become a reality.  It came out absolutely gorgeous!  Can you see it under the gifts?  :-)

Everyone enjoyed the morning playing with their favorite gifts.  Those included airplanes

trains

calico critters

and all things football

Even Mittens wanted to join in on the fun

We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed all kinds of yummy desserts.

I hope you all had a wonderful, blessed and beautiful Christmas with your families!  If you didn't read the Christmas poem I shared on Christmas Eve, you can click here to read it.  I know you will like it.
