Christmas Day at home

We spent Christmas Day at home as a family.  With no afternoon plans, the kids had time to play with their gifts at home.  We spent the month of December preparing for Christmas by reading Bible stories, doing fun winter and Christmas activities and blessing our neighbors and friends with gifts and goodies.

Opening stockings before a yummy breakfast of french toast.

Sylvia worked hard with daddy's help to make this rocket ship for me.

Dan was a bit surprised by his gift from me.

I had a local artist add a monster to this Goodwill find.

Drake got a Little People Circus from Mommy and Daddy.

Sylvia's gift was a doll house.

The kids enjoying their new bus while Daddy hangs up his new artwork.

We also payed for some animals through World Vision for all of the kids and they got to open cards with pictures of the animals to remind them of their gift.

Eric got a box of Legos and Dan bought me a Kindle which I am very excited about.  The grandparents joined us for dinner and took a look at the kids' gifts.  What a blessing to celebrate the birth of our Savior and the gift he gave us on the day of his birth.
