Christmas fell on a Sunday this year, which makes for some hectic times for a pastor's family. We enjoyed a little time together early before church as a family. First up was the reading of Scripture on the birth of our Savior. I won't lie... the kids didn't pay much attention. It was early and they were crazy excited. But, it sets a tone and a reminder for why we celebrate. We had many activities and lessons in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The first present openned was the Jesus figurine from their nativity set. They placed it in the manger and Hannah said, "Jesus is born!".

Then it was on to a few presents and stockings...

After a few presents and yummy Orange french toast and sausage breakfast, we headed to church. First time in ages all four of us rode together since Daddy usually leaves very early to prep.

Later that afternoon, we went to Grandmother's for some celebrating with her, Matt's family and Karen's family.

Following that gathering we came home, rested a little and then packed for our big trip to Tennessee. It was a wonderful Christmas day!
