Our Christmas Week



What a blast to have Daddy home with us this week! We loved being together, seeing Santa at the mall, watching Mora makes efforts at crawling, last minute shopping,late night wrapping/organizing- toy assembling, seeing the neighborhood Christmas decorating winners, Spencer trying to finish his book (he's been on the last chapter for what seems like weeks),watching all the motab Christmas concerts past (including our favorite with Bryn Terfel several times- I would put it on repeat throughout the day just to enjoy the music), Christmas Eve candle dinner (ham, funeral potatoes),teaching our girls why we have a birthday celebration for Jesus, Reading about His birth and life, Singing a duet in Church, Remembering Christmases past, tickling, laughing, watching Elmo's Christmas Movie, Taking Polar Express rides around the kitchen, Singing Addy to sleep with Christmas songs, Eating lots of chocolate, Picking up Spencer after his car broke down, finally getting our cars to the shop, Talking with Family on the phone, Reflecting, having Sally, Brad and Tyler over in their pajama's for Christmas brunch (creamed eggs on toast, breakfast casserole, hot chocolate, fruit, and more)reenacting the nativity,Going to Fredricksburg and down town to see the Riverwalk lights, Feeling closer to each other and our Savior. Indeed it was a Merry Christmas!

OK, I was getting totally giddy that Santa came during your video. I love how enthusiastic you were with her, how could she NOT be pumped that Santa really came and drank the milk? That is hilarious. Great times!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! That is such a sweet video! I can't wait until Isaac starts to actually understand what Christmas is. I love how she ate the rest of the cookie!
