on Christmas morning...

We had a marvelous Christmas morning! The kiddos were excited and eager to wake up and see what the day would bring. Our elf brought us some "Happy Birthday, Jesus" birthday party things to remind us of the REAL reason to celebrate!
The Bear got a train table for Christmas and was totally, absolutely engulfed in the world of choo choo's.... And, his big brother kind of liked it too.... Little Miss enjoyed exploring her gifts - she especially liked her walking puppy and her American Girl hair styling station! And, our big guy was just so fun to watch - he commented on how there was nothing he just had to have, he knew he would like what he got because Santa always brought fun surprises. But, he was a little excited to look through some new ball cards with his dad and read the instructions to play his new games! All in all, we had a beautiful Christmas. The Allens were here most of the day. We napped. We ate well. We laughed and shared gifts. We enjoyed a special church service. We rested in His love and enjoyed a day of nothing planned. Hope your Christmas was filled with rest and peace also!
