Christmas Morning!

Merry Christmas! This Christmas was so much fun! The twins were so excited about every aspect of Christmas. We really focused on the meaning of Christmas this year and my favorite thing about Christmas day was when they asked if Jesus was coming to his birthday party!

This year Santa suggested that each child got 3 gifts ...why?...because the wisemen brought Jesus 3 gifts.


Of course the 3 gifts didn't include all of the fun things he left in our stockings.




Love this face though it is a little scary...this is her "cheese" face showing off her baby doll car seat!


Sara Beth got a new baby for her car seat...Mahlon picked it out just for her!

We took each child shopping for the other! Something so fun that I look forward to every year!
Sara Beth gave Mahlon a Finn McMissile that does all kinds of things!

Something fun for outside ...a soccer goal and a blue and pink soccer balls!


And this is what is left from the tornado that blew through on Christmas morning!!!



love s.b. in her daddy's rain gear!!
We woke up to lots of rain on Christmas morning and Santa left note that 2 gifts were outside...so we all bundled up in rain gear and headed out to see yet another surprise...
a real pirate ship's wheel (like captain Hook)and a telescope for "whale watching"(like Dora)

We talked a lot about Christmas day being Jesus' birthday and the babies wanted to know if Jesus was going to have a cake...so we got a cake to celebrate Jesus' birthday. Then that morning they asked if Jesus was coming to his party! We sang happy birthday to Jesus and Mahlon and Sara Beth blew out his candles! Precious moment and something I will look forward to every year! Happy Birthday Jesus!!
