Can you believe Christmas has already come and gone? We hope all are having a wonderful New Year!! Just wanted to post some pics of our WONDERFUL Christmas in TN!! We had a rough week leading up to Christmas. Pink eye found its way to our house (both boys...both eyes). We also had a stomach bug, sinus infection/colds, and an ear infection. What fun we were!! However, at the same time, it was nice to just stay home and avoid all the hustle and bustle! We were busy at Christmas though...we had Christmas at both our parents house and also at our home. We are so blessed to live in TN again and not miss those fun celebrations! Matt was scheduled to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas nights, but was still able to participate in all the family events! Praise God!
My blogging friend, Lindley, tagged me to share what I love most about Christmas. I know it is after Christmas, but I still wanted to share!!
~ Christmas music...and David shares the love! Little Drummer Boy is our Favorite!
~ Christmas cards...I love sending them and receiving them (we save the ones we get and draw 1 each week to pray for that person/family.)
~ Christmas tree and ornaments...we have tons of special ornaments and I love seeing them each year.
~ A particular nativity scene we have, it's beautiful and we had the most perfect spot for it this year!
~ David's understanding of the bible story! We do 3 gifts from "Santa" to remind us of the 3 gifts the wise men brought Baby Jesus and to hear David explain that to others melts my heart.
~ Nights alone with Matt in front of the fireplace and Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate. We are truly blessed!
~ Christmas Eve services at church. We love the late night one, but with children, we now attend the early service. It is still a beautiful service!
~ And of course, the excitement of Christmas morning itself!!
Praying you and your family found some quiet time this Christmas to enjoy one another and also ponder the Greatest gift of all!
