Christmas Morning

This Christmas was extra special for us because we got to have Santa come to our house. My parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin were nice enough to make the journey to Abilene to make this possible. We had such a wonderful time and it was so fun to wake up Christmas morning at our home.

Before we get to that I have to post pictures of one of the girls favorite gifts...electric scooters from Papa and Nana. They had the best time riding these on the golf course path Christmas Eve. Can't you tell from the huge smiles on their faces? I don't know if Santa can top this one.

After a day filled with food and fun, along with our tradition of looking at Christmas lights it was time to prepare for Santa's arrival. The girls put out the reindeer food.

 Then they snuggled up in bed to listen to their Daddy read The Night Before Christmas to them. I think they were all giggles and smiles in anticipation of the big guy's arrival

 The girls had several things on their list this year and most of them were electronic like new itouches, Beats headphones, and a WiiU. They did however include a few games, an American Girl doll for Campbell, and other novelties. I think they were pleased with the loot Santa left for them.

As you can see from the pictures above we all had a wonderful Christmas together. The best part was being able to have everyone to our home. It was nice to be the one hosting and spoiling those who usually spoil us for a change. The only downside was that time seemed to go by way too quickly after the month or more of preparing. We are way more blessed than we deserve. Thank you Lord for the gift of family and holidays where we can slow down and just enjoy each other.
