The kids were really excited for Christmas morning this year. Santa worked into the wee hours putting together the basketball hoop, bike and ping pong table! I think Santa needs a break from any assembling next year. Safe to say the kids were on the nice list this year.
We have been hosting Christmas dinner for the last several years. I have to admit it is a little stressful but the memories we create each year are well worth it. Gay brought her red pepper jelly, mom brought the prime rib, Heather brought her potatoes, Rachael brought dessert, and I made rolls...it really is nice that everyone contributes their part to put on a really yummy dinner. Justin does the entertaining. His trivia is becoming quite the tradition and we always end the night with our gift card exchange, while the kids exchange their gifts.
Even though we have a lot of fun on Christmas with the gift giving and way over fill our bellies with an abundance of food, we remember why we celebrate this special day. I am so thankful for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is the reason we celebrate. His example of love and service is everything I strive to be like.
