Christmas Morning

We are BLESSED!  Christmas is about so much more than presents!  The greatest gift of all: God's Son.  While we openly and proudly acknowledge this fact, we were also very blessed with presents this year.

 Our sweet girls are so accustomed to coming in our room and crawling into our bed in the morning, they began their day like any other.  As parents, we couldn't think of a better way to start Christmas day.  We reminded them what day it was and quickly went to see what Santa had left.

Emma found the Cleaning Trolley.

Ella went straight for her new Bike.

After looking at the "big" presents Santa brought we moved on to our stockings.

Ella was quick to take the fruit from everyone's
stockings to the fridge.  On the way, she noticed Santa
had enjoyed his late night snack.

Uncle Newton joined in the fun, and Santa even
left a stocking filled for him.

I just love this picture!

We then moved back to the tree to open presents from each other and other family members.

After breakfast, the girls were ready to try out their new bikes.  It was still pretty cold outside, so Daddy moved the car and the girls rode in the garage for a while.

Grammie and Grandy came over.  We ate lunch, played games, and it was finally warm enough to ride the new bikes outside.  They had a little trouble getting used to the bikes.  Their tricycles would allow them to pedal backwards or forwards.  Pedaling backwards on the new bikes caused them to stop.  This was discouraging for them, so Emma switched back to riding her tricycle part of the time.

As I said in the beginning, We Are Blessed!
