Christmas!

Santa was good to us again this year! It was a lot of fun watching the kids open their presents, esp Maggie who was so excited by each one! Once she was done opening presents, she went around and kissed them all which I thought was such a sweet gesture on her part!
Alexander woke up at 5:30 with a croupy cough. I told him he could go out and watch TV until Maggie woke up. He would come in to the bedroom every so often and update me on the gifts that were waiting for them under the tree. Maggie woke up about 7:15 and immediately hit the living room in warp speed! Andrew was awake too so we all got up and went out to see what treasures Santa had left us. Andrew usually wakes up starving so he was all too pleased to just sit in a corner and eat some treats Santa had left in his stocking!

Santa baby!

We spent most of the day playing with our new Nintendo Wii and eating junk! FUN! It was nice to just stay home and hang out together without any other responsibilities. I did manage to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather by taking Maggie and Bella for a walk around the neighborhood. Our Christmas dinner consisted of a rarity at our house: a beef roast with carrots and potatoes, served with mushroom gravy. Yum, yum!The kids are enjoying their time off from school and are already preparing their Christmas list for next year!

We are grateful to celebrate Christ's birth and to know He is our Redeemer. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
