A Very Merry Christmas!

For the first time in our four years of marriage, we celebrated Christmas...at home. It turned out to be the most memorable Christmas for me as a mother, from making a Dr. Suess "green eggs & ham" (and spam) Christmas Eve dinner...giving the kids new Christmas jammies...watching "It's a Wonderful Life" 'till midnight, snuggled up together with popcorn, hot chocolate and iced sugar cookies...wrapping a gag gift five times over and having the kids take turns opening the present with oven mitts (so fun!)...and a family dance-off thanks to Just Dance 3 on the Wii!
Jeff & I had the pleasure of attending three Christmas Eve services, two by candlelight...to remember the reason we get to celebrate such a special season. Immanuel, God with us. God bless you all as we prepare to ring in a new year!
