This Christmas was so exciting, we had so much family time together to do some fun activities. Really, any Christmas we are all together and Kris is home we are blessed!
We made homemade gifts.
Had a night filled with gingerbread and candy. I am not really sure when they came down from that sugar high.
We did our annual holiday lights search throughout the neighborhoods. Lights were a little scares this year but we found this small cul-de-sac right off the main round where every house was decorated to the hilt!
We attended a beautiful Christmas Eve service at our new Church. It was amazing to see all the kids sitting up on stage listening so intently to the Christmas Story.
Of course, we enjoyed presents and playtime! We raced, chatted on facetime, tested out new headphones and gamed a TON, and even made a bunch of play-doh candies.
We even had a couple of sickies, so instead of playing the whole time we relaxed some by watched movies and eating popcorn.
We had a beautiful Christmas Day dinner{just the 6 of us}!
Keeping with tradition we made our Jesus birthday cake to complete the celebration of the birth of our Lord.
It's been a crazy, exhausting, fun filled, relaxing, sugar induced couple of weeks. We had committed ourselves to simplifying this year and even though it may not look like we did...we made a commitment and stuck to it! We simplified by focusing on doing activities together as a family and creating lasting memories that will long out live any present or gift you can receive.
