Every Christmas is fun. Even kidless, Christmases were fun. But, with kids, Christmas is fun. And, this year, well, it may have been the most fun of all the Christmases I can remember.
A big ole breakfast we ate together before opening gifts.
A family devotion over breakfast discussing why Jesus was born as a baby, to go to the cross.
homemade gifts that were graciously appreciated
some interesting gifts from a big sister (which was just what he wanted, mind you)
and some interesting snapshots (featuring Lydia’s first gift, her practical gift, of size 2 panties. woot woot).
Watching the kids get more excited about giving their gifts than opening gifts.
And, sharing some big smiles.
That’s what made Christmas amazing this year.
The funnest one I can remember. Yes, the funnest.

WOW! I just love the Mad Eye Moody Eye! Was that homemade too?
Thanks for doing these posts on Christmas… next year we are doing things differently (much like you do with gifts). This year our Christmas was unexpectedly high jacked by santa and strep throat. LOL!
This is such a cute post
