It was a great Christmas. We enjoyed spending time with family. On Thursday, we headed over to Regina and Erica's house to exchange presents. The boys got gift card and money. Ella got "crabby patties" well aka peppermint patties, money and a doggie purse. Her favorite part was playing with Harmony and Spanky the dogs. Erica is a junior at ECU.
We headed to mom and dad's for Christmas Eve breakfast.
yummo! My favorite. The kids were so excited we got there 1 hour early. The middle picture above is everyone holding their boxes waiting to open at the same time because they each got the same thing. iPADS!!!! 3 of them. The kids were blown away.
The second picture below is what we saw most of the day. All three sitting on the couch with the top of their head showing. We also headed to our new church for a Candlelight Christmas Eve Service. It was so great to have both of our parents with us. Ella was super excited to light her candle. She kept just watching it.
Christmas Eve gets to open one package. NEW PJs. Gabby even decided to join our picture.
Christmas morning is one of my favorite times. I love seeing the kids faces. All smiles.
We headed to Jeff's parents around 4 for Christmas supper.
More pictures from the day. It was a family day. Love Jeff and Garrett's ears. HA.
Jeff and Seth decided to go hunting tonight.
Our house is beginning to grasp the whole concept of Christmas. We are at 3 different stages of what the day means. The coolest part was the anticipation, smiles, surprises and the spirit of being a kid.
Jeff and I received many hugs and thank you. Everyone was well pleased.
We also have heard some powerful sermons from Pastor Clint this Christmas season that will forever be a part of who were are. Great life lessons were learned from the Christmas story.
May we as a family honor Christ in all we do.
