Our Christmas Day

Our family had a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve was spent attending the Christmas Eve service at church and then the annual trek to go look at Christmas lights before heading home for bed (the kids, not the adults).  My husband and I stayed up awhile longer to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (we do this every year).

Earlier in the day Caleb and Camden decorated cookies for Santa.

Caleb…

Camden…

Our Christmas tree with all the gifts.  We scaled down a lot on the gifts this year for the kids.  We are trying to instill in them about the real reason for Christmas, the birth of Jesus.

Caleb Christmas morning.  He really enjoyed his new Leapster and is getting quite good at it already.

Camden Christmas morning.  Camden got a new ‘puter…a Leapfrog Clickstart.

Emma getting a nap before the next round of festivities.
