Christmas Day

Happy Birthday Jesus! Our Christmas day was full and fun and filled with lots of good things!!


The annual "wait on the couch til its time to open presents" photo!
A quick game on dad's phone to get the party started...haha!
The Tooth Fairy brought Matthew a gold dollar! :)

Playing with the nativity... they never grow tired of it!

FINALLY!! Stockings!
Snackeez!!

Crazy straws!!



KISSY MAN!! So... we have these "kids crossing" figures at church near the children's wing. For YEARS, when we leave church, Matthew has giving the little green guy a kiss. Hence the name "kissy man". We were at Walmart before Christmas and Evelyn saw some. She immediately said, "I have to get this for Matthew for Christmas!!". I loved her thoughtfulness and her creativity. It was a bit more than we usually have the kids spend on each other, but we made an exception. Let's just say it was a HIT!!

Matthew got Evelyn a basket for her bike, which she LOVED!


They each got a lego set as their "big" thing!

Silly goose...
Peppermint hot cocoa.. a Christmas morning tradition!

Naomi got a special treat, too... milk and bacon!

Breakfast!


Later in the day, Doug's brother and his family along with Doug's aunt came over to spend the afternoon/evening with us. As in years past, I never get a lot of photos, mostly because I am enjoying our time together so much. We always have such a fun and special time together. 

One of the few photos I took... the boys doing what they do!

Thankful for a lovely day with family celebrating the true meaning of Christmas!
