Christmas

Christmas Eve we made cookies for Santa!  They were super delicious and the kids had a blast!

Setting out the cookies and letters for Santa and the apples for the reindeer 

Christmas morning the kids were up at 5:30!!!  I came out and told them that they had to wait until at least 7:00.  Regardless, we were all up at 6:40 to open presents!

Even though the boys did not get what they asked in their letters from Santa, they were super happy and I didn't hear a word about their wish lists!  It was a wonderful morning! 

 Lounging around in new camp chairs!

Plenty of deer jerky! 

Christmas breakfast with my beautiful family! 

Luke got balloons from Tyce.  Wait a sec, I said that wrong.  Tyce got balloons from Luke :) 

All ready for church

It was really special being able to go to church on Christmas to really focus on the true meaning.  Our closing hymn was "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" where we had our organist and also a pianist playing.  It was so powerful!  It was as if the angels were singing with us.   

This picture does not do it justice, but this is my new necklace from Brock!  I love it!!! 

All of our deer meat from Brock's hunting over the Christmas break!  I think we're set!
