Christmas 2013

I can't believe Christmas is already passed us and we are now sitting on the last day of 2013. When they say, when you get older, time flies.. Well.. it's so true. I thought I'd add some photos of our Christmas Day at our house...

 

Our little Christmas Tree. A couple years ago, we traded in our old artificial tree and decided to get something that was smaller and didn't take up much space during the season and especially when it's stored for the other 11 months each year. It's perfect in our newly remodeled dining room with all our family ornaments..

 

My son wanted to take a picture of me in front of the tree...

 

Hubby decided to make a gingerbread house this year. He never wants to do this so I HAD to take a picture of the finished product.. Looks yummy!

 

Stockings full of goodies. Each year they get three things. A book, a movie and something Christian based. I got them each a Christian Music CD and also some chocolates and Cold Stone Creamery Gift Cards for the New Year...

 

Kids awaiting Christmas morning...

 

DD19's gifts from us, brothers and her friend...

 

DS14's gifts from us and her sister, and brother

 

DS12's gifts from us, his brother, sister and Royal Rangers group

 

My wonderful friend Amelia handmade this awesome Apron for me. Has my initials on it up by the collar and on the pocket along with really cute ladybug buttons.. I can't wait to make something... LOVE IT!

 

To finish off the evening we had our traditional dinner together with our annual family photo...

 

Hope you all had a wonderful and truly blessed Christmas....
