We had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas here at home. We started the day with excited, happy kids eager to pour out their filled stockings and open the gifts under the tree. We had a breakfast fit for a king, played games, snuggled,read books, watched movies, and ate ate ate!
A baby! Anna named her Abby. :)
We had a yummy ham dinner and everyone helped make a special birthday cake for Jesus, this year the kids decided He needed a lemon cake. It is so fun to see how excited the kids are to celebrate His birthday. We lit candles, sang Happy Birthday, and ended the evening sharing how we each saw or felt really close to God this year. The responses included cake, sharing, praying after a scary dream, reading the Bible, traveling to another country, and ended with a precious thought: "I like to give Jesus hugs."
After dessert we all got in to our new Christmas jammies and played a few rounds of The Hungry Hippo (one of the greatest kids games of all times)
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a special day!
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
¡Feliz cumpleaños, Jesús! Gracias a Dios por enviar a su hijo a la tierra. ¡Te queremos!
