Merry Christmas!

Our final week of advent was less eventful than planned. Everyday one of my children was sick with a fever so we spent most of the days watching movies and eating popcorn (those that were not sick). On Monday night we drove around town and looked at Christmas lights as a family. On Friday night (Christmas eve) we went to the Christmas eve service at our church. They have theirs at 11pm so that it ends "Christmas morning". It was a late night for the kids, but they did very well and slept in a bit more. Our Christmas morning was spent as a family with my older brother joining us for the day. We finished Jotham's Journey (excellent story), read the Christmas story from the Bible (Katelyn requested we read from Matthew), enjoyed homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then opened presents. It was a wonderful day spent with the family! We had fajitas and tamales for dinner...delicious! Our evening ended with family devotions and watching The Nativity.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
