Christmas Eve and Day in the South

We have had a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed having family friends over for a Christmas Eve breakfast, where the kids broke in their new trampoline...a big hit! Check out the video~...

After church, we changed into christmas jammies and spread out some reindeer food outside, to make sure rudolph could find us.

the girls were very serious about their food scattering technique...


Our wonderful teenaged neighbors and babysitters came over with presents for the girls...
We finished up the eve with Narnia...Prince Caspian movie, a lovely christmas eve.

We were up early to kick of Christmas morning! The day before we had written individual notes to Jesus for his birthday telling Him what we are each giving Him for His birthday. We hung them in the tree and then we each opened ours and shared them with each other this morning before starting in on our gifts. It was so precious to hear what the girls had to say. It was a wonderful way to get the gift giving party started!
