so i am finally putting them up.

december of the 25

or in other words

Christmas Day

the day of Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth. i tried hard this year to keep my focus on that, and the feeling of giving rather than receiving!

on the 24th, we did our family gift exchange! earlier in the year we drew names, and each person got the person they drew a $10 present. we love to open these presents on Christmas Eve!

after the gift exchange we all opened 2 more presents!
new Christmas slippers and jammies!

december 25
we all slept in the playroom on Christmas Eve! tradition every year :) the little kids woke little miss Malia and I up at 7:59.... so early! but we walked into my parents room at 8:00 on the dot

Santa sure did visit us this year! as we walked out we were all so excited but we did remember last week.
last week was Disneyland {go here to read about it} which was part of our Christmas!

BUT
we all had a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas
Mom and Dad
Love: your great kids

these are a few things i got that i loved lots!

hope you all had a very very
Merry Christmas!
