Christmas Eve...
We celebrated Christmas Eve by having our good family friends, Allison and Phillip over. We started babysitting Phillip from the time he was about six weeks old. So, he's pretty much like a brother to us! He's only a few weeks older than my brothers. We basically grew up with a set of triplets in our house :)
We discovered that traditional Jenga can evolve into many different games! Here's some pictures to illustrate:

The morning we celebrate Jesus' birth.
Mom and I always do puzzles when I'm home.
Our favorites are Charles Wysocki and "Hometown Collection."
My favorite present!! My new Bible :)
Luke 2: The story of Jesus' birth.
Christmas dinner table!
This year, it was "just us" for Christmas day. For the first time EVER, we didn't have any extended family over and we didn't have to go anywhere! We literally stayed in our pajamas all day and spent time as a family. Dinner was quiet and relaxing. It was a joyous Christmas day.
"And there were shepherd living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. And angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
'Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.'"
Luke 2: 8-14
