Christmas Spirit

It is easy to have the excitement, joy, and spirit of Christmas with my babies around!  My three children and sweet husband have made this last month wonderful.  From little people nativities to kindergarten school programs, shopping trips, candlelit scripture reading, silly elves that fish with candy cane poles, a one-year-old that looks at pictures of Jesus and says, "bay-bee," mom, dad, and sister who drive to be with us, and Adam who knows exactly what two little boys will love; this Christmas has been magical.

On Christmas Eve Eve we let the boys sleep out under the tree in sleeping bags.  First they watched the Polar Express and then fell asleep amazingly fast.
Jayne kept pressing the keys on my keyboard and therefore had to go to sleep on time! The movie would've never ended if she had stayed awake.
 

 

The present excitement was so fun with my sweet children.  They loved everything and kept my attention with the lively comments of happiness about each treasure they unwrapped.  We made an impressive mess and I don't know what I would've done without my mom cleaning up behind us all.  Someday I will be as fast and productive as she is!

We even had a chance to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while we watched Kael and Silas drive around their remote-control tanks.











 What a beautiful Christmas!
