Christmas Day was jammed packed! The kids got up and we brought them into the living room for them to see what Santa had left them. But before they could open up any gifts they had to put their gifts to Jesus on the tree. We got two new ornaments for the tree. One was of the nativity scene and the second was a beautiful white snowflake style that had the words peace woven into the mix. Cooper and Caddie were able to put them on the tree as a reminder that this is about Jesus and not just getting gifts. We then went to the pile of gifts for the kids. They had a blast opening and giving gifts to each other then playing with what they opened.
From there we had breakfast and it was time to get ready for dinner. Dinner was so yummy and our birthday cake for Jesus was the perfect ending.
Santa left a note, ate all his cookies, and filled the kids stockings. Cooper and Caddie really got into the fun this year and we had a great time watching them get so excited! It was a great Christmas and would have only been better if the Bears would have won! :)
