Christmas Morning

I wanted to do the Christmas story the morning of Christmas, it's all well & good on Christmas eve, but I really just wanted to emphasize Christ a little bit more this year.  It worked out even better than I had hoped.  When Lily usually wakes up she comes straight to our room & climbs into bed.  Not that morning instead we found her already playing with the nativity.  Chi was still sleeping & so Jeremy went to start breakfast & Lily & I reenacted the Christmas story.  Boy were the tears coming yet again.  When the Shepherds went to visit they sang "You are a Child of God" (per Lily's request I changed the words a bit, how fitting!) then the wise men sang "I love to See the Temple" I was almost worried it would be "Happy Birthday" Kind of glad it wasn't.

About the time we finished reenacting, Breakfast was ready & Chi was awake!  Yummy cinnamon rolls!  I had to twist Jeremy's arm on this one.  It was a tradition my family did & well I wanted to introduce it to my family (it just seems to help make Christmas last a little longer!)  This year it worked out perfectly, we'll see how it goes next year :)

Here's Lily vacuuming the floor on Christmas day!

I made Jeremy a quilt out of his old cross country/track 15+ t-shirts kind of glad to have more closet space :)

He also got a "iron man" watch.  Lily & Chi got him razors & cologne.

He spoiled me & bought a "Pandigital" so AWESOME!!

Chi's treasures! 

Lily's treasures (can't quite see them all)

Christmas day to be continued :)
