Yep, we had Christmas ... and it was great! The boys are finally old enough to understand. We watched the Polar Express like 100 times in Dec and they begged for more. Every time they hear a bell ring they get a special little smile. We sat on Santa's leg and the boys had no problem asking for excavators and bull dozers. Audrey on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the big jolly man.
We visited Temple Square with all the lights and loved showing the kids all of the different creche's. Every time they'd say "Look another Baby Jesus!" This year we got to talk even more about the true meaning of Christmas. The boys arranged our manager scene so everyone was close and could see the baby. You may not know, but in addition to shepherds and wise men there were also farmers and superheros there to celebrate Jesus' birth.
Christmas Eve we played games and watched "A Wish for Wings That Work", a cute Christmas movie about a penguin. Aunt Becky even stopped by and shared in the fun, how lucky are we!? The boys wrote thank you notes for Santa and arranged cookies just so.
Christmas morning was everything it should be and more. We loved it. But mostly we love that during the holiday we get to see and spend time with so much of our family. We love the special feeling talking about Christ and his birth brings to our home and we love sharing it all with our children.
Just playing with their new construction tractors. They were so thrilled.
Audrey's been "cooking" up a storm. When she saw it Christmas morning she wouldn't open any of her other gifts, she just wanted to play with this.
