Christmas 2007




Merry Christmas 2007

Here is what we did today.... After everyone sleeping in till almost 8:00am we started out the morning with some home made crepes with lots of whipped cream on top.
Then we gathered around the table to read the Christmas story from God's Word.
David read the account from the book of Luke. By then the kids were ready and waiting by the tree excited about the giving... and the getting!





They were all excited with lots of smiles and hugs and words of jubilee.










Here are the boys with their new light sabers.
And Mommy got a gift card for Caribou Coffee!! Whoo Hooo!!
Mommy and Daddy just had a great time watching all the Joy go around.

Then... it was time to go OUTSIDE!




There was a beautiful snow falling all day but that only added a magical element to the fun.
They had so much fun just being together... And of course, eating lots of snow!
Daddy got in on the fun.... but seriously, I think it is time to get the man a real snow board... He has gone as far as he can on the kids plastic one.
After a few hours and lots of rosy cheeks, it was time to pack up the sleds and come inside.
Every one relaxed in their own way. The big kids played Play Station. Josiah was so excited to get a set of remote controllers so now he can play with 2 people.Jonah decided to spend some quality time with his trains.And Daddy decided to spend some quality time with Mom's new Christmas present.... The Homedics Shiatsu Massage Cushion. He has decided that it is the best present he ever bought me.
It was a beautiful day of celebrating the gift of Family and the beauty of God's creation.
