An Overview of Christmas!

We began our Christmas celebrations the weekend before Christmas with a trip to see Todd's family in Tennessee. Here are the grandkids under Grandmom's tree!

And my kids posing with Aunt Tessa and Uncle Justin.
Here comes Santa Claus...

A rousing game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos!

We had to leave on Saturday night late to drive back home so that we could be at church the following Sunday morning to celebrate the baptisms of 2 new sisters in Christ! Sunday evenening was our church's special Christmas service. It was a beautiful candlelight service with music, readings, and scripture. Todd and I sang O Come, All Ye Faithful in a small ensemble. The kids sang Silent Night, Holy Night in a small children's ensemble.

Bekah got to be Mary for the program! Here she is with baby Jesus!

Christmas Eve was a day spent at home with just the 4 of us. That evening the kids opened their new pajamas from their grandparents and posed by the tree!

When we got up on Christmas morning, the first thing we did was read the Christmas story and pray. Then on to the gifts....

After the gifts, Todd always cooks french toast for breakfast.

We had some friends over to have Christmas dinner with us.

Here is everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. Then we got to eat the yummy birthday cake! We set baby Jesus on top of the cake while we were singing to Him!

The weekend after Christmas we went to TN to see my family. Here are the kids with some of their new gifts.

Can you find my 2 kids in this picture?

We definitely had an enjoyable holiday season!
