And all through the house, were grateful hearts and cheerful smiles and fun with family and friends!
I love Christmas! I love that we celebrate Christ's birth. I love that we have little children so we are constantly sharing with them what Christmas is all about so they don't get wrapped up in the world's way of doing Christmas. And sharing with them over and over again about the true meaning of Christmas helps me so much as well. Many, many times over the last couple of weeks the girls have been asked "So, are you ready for Santa? Have you been a good girl this year?" and those questions have allowed us to have some great conversations, especially with Reagan. And every store we went in last week, Sydney showered everyone around us with many "Merry Christmases!" This Christmas was different for us. Over the last four years, we've started several traditions and this year those all kind of changed, but it was so good, too! Christmas Eve Steve worked until the afternoon and when he came home the girls were still napping, so we opened our gifts to one another. Then, when the girls got up and my mom got here we opened our PJs and stockings and then headed over to the Roberts' for dinner! We had a wonderful time with all the Roberts, my mom, Lael and Stephanie and Laz! Christmas morning we woke up and headed back over to the Roberts to open gifts. It was unbelievable seeing all the gifts and the girls had a blast. We came home early afternoon and spent the rest of the day (and weekend!) playing and resting. It was another wonderful Christmas! Steve is off all but Tuesday next week, so we are looking forward to spending some family time together and also some time with just the two of us! Next week he and I are heading to Atlanta for the weekend! Yay!!!
