We really had a sweet Christmas celebration recently. The kids always enjoy the month of special family devotions based around the Jesse Tree ornaments as well as our terrific advent calendar. We also had lots of guests in our home throughout the weeks before Christmas that we were able to share the True Meaning with. It was a busy, but very good month for us all. Christmas Eve was a special time in our home with those we worship with celebrating Jesus and sharing good food and fun times. Christmas day (or Christmas Adam, as Joshua calls it) was a quiet fun day for just our family. We began the day reading the Christmas story from Luke and Matthew before we had our yummy blueberry coffee cake for brunch. We scattered opening presents throughout the day as we listened to Handel's Messiah and played with new toys and games and lots of new Legos. :o) Thanks to our family members who sent gifts to each of us! We had a light lunch and made a scrumptious but easy traditional meal for supper (including the Wideman cornbread dressing - yum!). It was a leisurely, non-stressful day for which we are very grateful. The Lord has so greatly blessed us! Here are a few pictures from December for you to enjoy...
One of the boys received this hat and scarf in a mall that he was in with Daddy one day. Micah proceeded to adopt it as his own and wanted to wear it every day!
This is the very cool Trio Batcave set that the Morrisses gave the boys. They love it!
Lots and lots of Legos...
After all the new toys Mercy got for Christmas, she still just wanted to play with the plastic recyclable bottles. :o)
We hope you all had a blessed Christmas as well!
