Christmas JOYS

CHRISTmas Eve
So I wanted to do our big dinner Christmas Eve so I wouldn't spend Christmas cooking!
Dinner was DELICIOUS!!

Of course we read the Luke 2 version and the Silent Night book we have to reenact the nativity. 

The family in our new "Angry Birds" PJ's it was awesome!

The Boys!!!
Spencer's shirt was PERFECT for him. It said "I don't have an ANGER problem, I have an idiot problem." Those who know...yeah it was perfect!

The Girlies!

Spencer decided that he wanted a fire for Christmas morning so we tried to figure out how to lite the pilot with no success...Bowen even helped! Love this picture!

Before bed with all set out and ready for Santa!

CHRISTMAS DAY
SANTA CAME!!! The goods Santa left along with a thank you note for the cookies and milk!

Spencer's family has a tradition of a tea ring Christmas morning and I found this cinnamon roll tree on pinterest and decided to try it. It turned out awesome. We put a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus!

All in all our very first Christmas home in 9+ years of marriage was PERFECT. We mixed our traditions and had so much fun! I think we will keep some traditions and add our own. We will be keeping the cinnamon tree for sure, Yummy! Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus seemed like it really hit home the true meaning of the day and we loved that! Spencer and I spent the day relaxing with a nap and then playing our new game Carcassonne. It was just so super awesome to be together!!

The kids are so cute! I miss you all big and small. When we were alone as a family, I founds as long as we were together it was good. We missed our other family members, but your attitude makes it what is good or bad, happy or sad.

So glad your first Christmas home was a sucess! We miss everyone when we stay home but truth be told we prefer to be at our own house for Christmas!

By the way-you look fantastic!
