Merry Christmas 2015

It has been a great Christmas day so far. We have been very blessed in many ways this Christmas. So thankful for all that we have including the gift of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is such a beautiful thing, and I'm so thankful we celebrate it.

Christmas eve started off with us eating a super fancy dinner of pizza and pop. I even got the fancy place mats and napkins out for it!  Then we had our first annual Christmas pajama race which I didn't get any pictures of because it all happened so fast. Instead of just the usual opening of Christmas eve PJ's we had a race. All the pj boxes were placed in the middle of the living room floor, and on the signal everybody has to race to find their package, run to a designated area for boys or girls, put their pj's on and run back. It was so fun, and I think all the kids liked it. Oh, and the winner is the one who makes it back to the candy cane first (a plastic candy cane with candy inside). The winner this year was Aaron, and he shared his candy with everyone.

I did get a picture of Alex with his new Star Wars pj's on in front of the tree before bed.

All the kids coming out Christmas morning! They sure are getting big!

Aaron's new water speakers. Trying them out.

One of Aaron's most favorite presents, a stir crazy popcorn popper. "This thing is awesome!" is what he kept saying.

Decorations...

I put our perler bead nativity on our wreath after seeing a friend put some perler beads creations on hers.

I picked up this nativity at Target last year. I like the colors of this one.

April took this picture of a snowflake on our tree.

I wish you happiness and peace on this Christmas day, and I hope you are having a wonderful day with your families.
