What an absolutely amazing morning! I have never felt so blessed in my life. It was so much fun! I just sat and looked around at the wonderful family that God has given me. It's hard to describe how great God is but if you look at my family...there ya go! We got to wake up at our own house and take our time opening gifts and enjoying each of them. Adah got to take a nap in her own bed and when she woke up she was refreshed and ready for more excitement! We spent the rest of the day at Brian's parents! Here are some pictures from our amazing morning (it was too difficult to choose):
Austin got a Kindle, Kezzie a jewelry box, Brian showing Adah the things in her stocking, Austin with his new Iron Man 2 DVD, The tree all set up the night before, Kezzie opening her stocking, Adah is getting into how this is all done, Austin checking out his Kindle, Adah successfully opened a gift, Adah looks on while Kez opens her new cash register, Kezzie is checking out what Adah got in her stocking, another shot of the tree all set up, stockings are hung, Kezzie is looking through her binoculars Austin wrapped up for her from his toy box (so sweet), Kezzie is showing off her new book and new movie, Brian opened his special chocolates I ordered from France, and Austin is digging into his stocking.
Kez and I learning our way around her new MobiGo, Brian testing out his new gloves, Austin holding up his new Chickasaw pants, Kezzie opening her MobiGo, Kezzie opening Don't Wake Daddy game, Austin opening his Carnivorous Planetarium, I had to take a picture of Kezzie's Sunday School activity-it was a picture of Jesus in the manger and the sheet going over the top is wrapping paper with a bow at the top. We put this under our tree and looked at it again today and talked about how Jesus is the greatest gift we can receive on Christmas! Austin is showing off his new nerf football, Kezzie and Adah got a HUGE pack of new play dough, Adah's working on getting her weebles unwrapped, we wrapped up Austin's 6th grade football jersey for him since we had the option to buy it at the end of football season, Adah is waiting patiently for mommy to get her toy out of the box, daddy and Adah cuddling on the couch with the 'ball', Adah opening her new pull along phone.
What an incredible day spent together as a family. I am so grateful for each and every one of them. I am even more grateful that God sent His son to earth as a tiny baby, to live like we live, to grow like we all grow and to experience life like we do, so we can more easily believe in Him and our Heavenly Father and through Him have eternal life. Can you imagine if there was no baby Jesus? Austin and I have really enjoyed borrowing a book from a friend that started when Advent started and ended Christmas morning. We read a chapter each night together and it has been so much fun. It was an adventure story based on the story of advent leading up to Jesus' birth. What a great reminder of what Christmas is really all about!
