We really enjoyed being home for Christmas this year!
Jeremy and I enjoyed filling stockings, putting toys together, watching a Christmas movie, and being together Christmas Eve.
I love Christmas morning and seeing the excitement and anticipation on the faces of our kids! I was so thankful for Jeremy's leadership in "prepping" the kids before running out to their stockings. He prayed and reminded us all of the meaning of Christmas and to treasure Christ above all!
After stockings we ate breakfast together and read the Christmas story, sang, and put baby Jesus in our nativity set.
And then we gathered in the family room again to exchange gifts we had bought each other. I especially enjoyed watching the kids give their gifts to each other.
One of the biggest surprises for the kids this year was a hamster! They had asked for this for Christmas but we consistently told them we wouldn't be able to get one…..so it was SO fun to surprise them with this after opening all the other gifts.
Meet Chewie (short for Chewbacca for all you non-Star Wars fans):
They were so excited and loved holding him and watching him!
After a nice slow day at home we enjoyed eating Christmas dinner in our dining room. I love my family so much and am thankful for a sweet Christmas 2015!
