It is hard to believe that Christmas is finally here. The kids can hardly wait for morning. Declan asked if they could open presents as soon as they wake up in the morning. I told him he had to wake us up first!!

Today was a busy day of baking. We decided as an outreach to our neighbors we would give every house on our block a plate of goodies. The kids helped me make chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin bread & rice crispy treats and then we put them together on plates and delivered them this evening. It was great to see the smiles on the faces of our neighbors.

We also had a Christmas Eve service at church and a small get together with family at Chris' brother, Bob's house. Teah was given her beautiful Christmas dress and when she has it on, she says she is a dancer.

Here she is showing off a couple of her moves. Look at how serious the expression is on her face.

And her she is sharing a dance with her brother. So, so cute!!!

The kids also got to open one present which was given to them by their Uncle Phil & Aunt Steph. Here they are with their new, handmade mittens, scarf & hat. Steph did a great job on these and the kids absolutely love them.

Tomorrow will be a nice quiet day here at the house. We were considering going to the Christmas Day serivce at our church but have opted to stay home and enjoy the day with our children. We are going to have a ham dinner with potatoes and green beans. I have a TON of cookies left over from my day of baking so that will be dessert..

Well off to bed I go. The morning will arrive sooner than I would like it to!!! I will be sure to post lots of pictures and let everyone know what the kids got and what their favorite gift(s) was/were.

Have a blessed evening and remember......

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!
