We had a joyous Christmas celebration this year. We were able to spend time with both sides of our family, some of whom we haven't seen in a while. As we approached Christmas it was a special season for our family. The kids were more involved in the activities and festivities, and engaged in the discussions we had about the spirit of Christmas.
A few days before Christmas we celebrated my birthday. However, it did not end the way I thought it would. I was under the impression that we were going to have sushi. Just before we were to leave my mom and dad showed up. I thought, oh they are going to join us for dinner. After all it is as much a celebration for our mama's as it is for us on our birthday's. Then my mom told me she was going to take me shopping to get a few new things. During our trip Dan called me a couple of times asking when I would be back home, because my dad was getting hungry and cranky. After browsing the stores a bit more we returned home to pick up the rest of the crew. I walked in and noticed that the house was dark and my couch was moved. My first thought was they must have been playing basketball (we have a small hoop that hangs from the door). Then I hear SURPRISE!!!!! My family and friends were all waiting in the living room, h
anding me a flower one by one. It was such a wonderful night! My sweet husband had set it all up, and with help from the ladies we shared great food and drinks (chai tea...my favorite). My heart was full of love and thankfulness.
Here are some pictures of the kids with their Christmas gifts...
My little adventurer now has a rock climbing wall in his bedroom.
Thank you to his great aunties and uncles.
My sweet girl has a play kitchen.
Thank you to grandma and grandpa Marion for your hard work in constructing this.
