Our Christmas

Christmas eve 8

Will (on Christmas Eve) looking pretty pleased as he's checking gifts under the tree.


Christmas eve 9
Our tradition for Christmas Eve typically is pretty relaxed and low key.
We attend the children's service at our church,
then come home
and unwrap a few family gifts with our oldest son and his girlfriend.

Milk and cookies are left for Santa...


Christmas eve 6
This year we let Grace and Will stay up a little later than normal
and they slept in until 7:30 am, that was a first!

Christmas day Grace
Santa left some awesome gifts for 2 children that were awfully good this year.  ;)
 
Christmas Day Storyboard
I spent about two hours Christmas morning just watching them enjoy their gifts,
 listening to them talk and laugh,
and play together.
Time that was precious to me.


I hope your Christmas was wonderful!


Christmas day Will

You really captured Christmas beautifully Gail. So happy you were able to relax and enjoy the day. I didn't take one picture yet again this year. My morning came way too early. ;-) Next year I'll do better. Especially since I was given such an awesome toy this year.

Gail,

That mug is amazing. I had one when I was a kid. Is that yours from years ago? Or is it new?

So, I am dying to know what William's castle is about? So cute.

the pictures are A M A Z I N G! I loved spending time looking at them.
