Merry Christmas!!

Abby's stain glass art project for Molly done with Aunt Linda.

Merry Christmas everyone.
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night" carries new meaning when you have children. The excitement and anticipation has been building for some time. Molly and I were in bed about mid-night. Katie was in our room by 4:30AM. She couldn't sleep anymore and kept coming into our room. By 6AM she had gone down to Abby's room and then they both came in. We tried to sleep a little longer. We were planning on being up at 6 for coffee and wait for them to wake up, but that didn't work out. We got up a little after 7. They had already look at all the gifts trying to figure out what they received.

Stockings and gifts ready. The mood was set.

Excitement...you can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it.

We must first read the Christmas story. It's the greatest story ever told.

Brady was much more into it this year compared to last year.

"This is awesome, dad"

Meet Rebecca.

Abby made this blanket for Brady.

Macy got a treat and a few toys, including the wrapped flying disk.

Katelyn and her new doll Elizabeth.

Abby made me this blanket. She made this while I was at deer camp and managed to keep it a secret for so long.

Katie made me this picture frame and put a picture of herself in it. Very nice. This was her project with Aunt Linda.

Maybe Braeden's favorite gift. He LOVED this basketball.

We will enjoy the rest of the day playing and resting. Hope you all can do the same.
