Christmas Magic

What can I say about our Christmas this year that you probably can't guess for yourself? The kids are 4 and almost 2 and it couldn't have been more exciting and magical for them. They got way too many toys, ate way too many sweets, stayed up way past bedtime on too many nights...but I wouldn't have it any other way. So happy to have these pictures to remember it all...

Christmas Eve family shot. I have this same picture starting from the first year Todd and I moved into our house. I need to post them all one of these days!

Ross's "cheese" face just gets better and better with each click of the camera!



We open a few presents Christmas Eve, usually from grandparents and cousins. The kids new diner/kitchen from Grandma and Grandpa is just about the cutest thing we've ever seen!

Chef and waitress costumes to go along with the diner. Halloween costumes next year? I think so!

Saying goodbye to the elf on Christmas Eve was not easy for Bridget...so Santa let him stick around just one extra day.

The kids were actually the last to wake up on Christmas morning. Here are their first reactions to seeing that Santa had come...

ps-it did not even occur to me to brush Bridget's hair that morning. This is exactly how she rolls out of bed every morning. She'll thank me one day:)

Presents and parties and all the Christmas fun is so wonderful, but the real reason we celebrate was certainly not lost this year. Bridget enjoyed listening to our story books about Jesus' birthday and was so excited every time she saw a nativity or manger scene in someone's yard. We are happy and blessed and grateful to end another year with so much to be thankful for.
