Christmas Day was finally here. We stayed in all day, had an exciting and laid back morning and then begain preparing for Royce's family to come over in the afternoon. We cooked a turkey and birthday cake (sang to Jesus) and Maw-maw & Paw-paw (Phil & Jan) came over; Cathy, Jet, Jet & Lili came over and then later after their Christmas goings-on; Pat, Heather, Elijah & Haylie came by. It was a fun, fun day!
Preston is trying to drink this candy cane!
Opening stocking first for a change.
I think he's getting the hang of it!
Oh the excitement!
Hannah looks so cuddly
You are looking at new CSI Field Agent, Royce Phelps...hee hee
Oops, forgot to take a pic of the pretty bird BEFORE carving it.
A glance at our Christmas table.

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World?
Funny boys played in the "Lego Room" for a long time.
The "Lego Room" where Nathan can keep them away from Preston!
We hope you enjoyed looking at our many Christmas Day pictures, but more than that, we hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We are so thankful that God sent his only Son here to die for our sins. In every way possible we strived to teach the kids this year the true reason for this season - Jesus and we hope to maintain this same level of excitement throughout the year. As I'm typing this, I am reminded of a book I recently got because my Mothers of Preschoolers group talked about it, called The ADVENTure of Christmas. What a blessing this book has been to me! I highly recommend it to anyone, get it now to prepare for the next Christmas season and always. The book is available on Amazon at a reduced price - written by Lisa Welchel (Blair from The Facts of Life). Didn't mean to promote here, but hey - the book is well worth it!
Merry Christmas!
