Our Christmas Day

Like I said in the last post, we have our family Christmas a little early each year....
All ready to surprise our babies...



The girls begged for a Wii.  I was a little reluctant just because they already have iPods, but Graham found a refurbished one on Amazon and got it. The main reason they've wanted one is to play Disney Infinity.  I don't know much about it all, but Graham got it all squared away and they were beyond happy!!!

Edy made mention several times that she wanted a kid's guitar.  Graham said that he would teach her a little bit here and there.








Joy LOVES her Little People castle!
My traditional Christmas breakfast.

A friend of ours went to Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany and brought Graham a copy of Luther's 95 Theses.  I had it framed and matted for his office.  I'd say that I nailed it! :)

I just had to!

I made a somewhat traditional dinner:  turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, green bean casserole, fruit salad, and more.  I've never made turkey and dressing and I was so pleased with how it all turned out.

I enjoy setting the table more than cooking! :)
We always have poppers at our Christmas dinner!  Lots and lots of fun!  The girls made about 15 toasts and they were very funny!

Y'all this has been a great Christmas season!  I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Our Christmas Eve!

We celebrate Christmas early so we can have the whole experience at home as a family.  Our Christmas Eve was Thursday night...

cookies and milk

so adorable.


Bible Reading

*Graham wanted me to photoshop those holes out of his socks.  I didn't have time to make edits on these pics!  :)


We also drove around and looked at Christmas lights.  I love these special moments we share as a family!

Gingerbread House 2014


Traditions, traditions!!  We love traditions.  One of our favorites is decorating a gingerbread house each year!  This year, we had a little more than a single house.  We decorated a train and a little village.  If I'm lying, I'm dying--I didn't help at all.  The girls were so proud of their work!


Gingerbread houses through the years...
What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions?
