Christmas

  Twas the night before Christmas
But we weren't on our blog.
We were waiting excitedly...
Even Prospect the dog!

And on Christmas morning

We found Santa had come,

And left lots of goodies

It was such wonderful fun!

A charm bracelet...just like Mommy's!

"Just the game I wanted!"

Tim is convinced that toys were packed with more security tags and tapes this Christmas than ever before.  At one point, the kids were standing in line waiting to get their packages open!  :)

John's favorite gift on Christmas morning had to be the Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 game for PS3.  He shot deer and bears and wolves...oh my!

Our family is hopeful that your Christmas celebration was joyful and peaceful.  Our first Christmas in North Carolina was an absolute delight!  The weather was warmer than anything we had ever experienced in December. We got to find new places to hang all our decorations, and in honor of living in the South, we left Santa sweet tea with his cookies.  :D  

We even found a special new North Carolina ornament for our tree...

But in the midst of so much new for our family this Christmas, some traditions always stay the same.  No matter where our family finds ourselves, no matter in which city or state we reside, Christmas for us is always about celebrating the birth of our Savior...together.   Praise God for His indescribable gift!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
