We started Christmas Eve off right in our bathing suits and outside with the hose throwing water balloons! Needless to say, it wasn't a white Christmas here... it was a warm, muggy Christmas!
Now that my mom lives here, our tradition is Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange at her house. She made the most delicious prime rib! Here, the kids are enjoying all their new Fun Spot gear from Uncle Sam! They were spoiled rotten by grandma and enjoyed opening their gifts! We are a small group but I love it!
One of my most favorite Christmas Eve traditions is the picture in front of the Christmas tree. And I was sure looking forward to having Benny in the picture this year. Here it is! My most prized and special gifts of all!! These ragamuffins that make me the happiest girl on earth! We snapped a handful of pictures of Bennett in his jammies and I love the one where he fits in his stocking!
Santa surely did come!!
Pictures in bed Christmas morning!!
And the grand event! Opening up our loot!
We headed over to Daniel's parents house after our morning at home for cremed shrimp on toast and our gift exchange with them. It was a wonderful, fun, beautiful few days and we are so grateful for the reason we are able to celebrate... our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. We love Him and are blessed with the knowledge of His grace and power. Happy Birthday Jesus!!
