We had a family Christmas for the first time since before we had children this year. It was fun, Handsome wanted to do it so that A)our gifts to the kids could be appreciated ~because lets face it, we cannot top Grandpa & Grandma~ B)But mostly we want to start family traditions of our own...our family Christmas was mostly centered around what Christmas is all about, Christ's Birth!
We started the evening out with a full blown ham supper with gravy and everything! Then we read the Christmas Story from the Bible and it was fun to see the kids really get into it and ask questions!
We then moved on to opening of gifts. We opened each gift one by one so that we could be happy for one another and the blessings we received. Princess went first then BooBear and we alternated like that (Mommy & Daddy each already had our gifts!)
*They were so excited about these cameras, (and so was I) but we ended up returning them because Princess' went on the blink almost right away and so we return them both and got them each a new pair of N.ike tennis shoes instead! They still ask where their cwamwas are!
Then we moved on to stockings~
They each received panties/underwear and BooBear was sooo excited...you see he didn't GET to go potty in the potty chair until his third birthday, a week after he opened these T.homas the T.rain & T.oy S.tory big boy underwear! That plan didn't work! We will try again in March!
B.alderdash was in my stocking!
Handsome had lounge pants & a memory card for his B.lackberry!
We ended the night with some family time & a yummy ice cream dessert that Handsome made...his Mom always makes it at Christmas time and since we were not able to be with them to celebrate their family Christmas he wanted to make sure that we had it! The kids thought it was num NUMS!
This is what I found when I returned to the living room after getting the Princess ready for bed! If that doesn't just about add up to the best way to end an evening of family celebration of our Saviors Birth! So precious!
