Our Little Family Christmas

Since we travel every year for Christmas, we've started our own tradition of doing our own little family Christmas before we leave. So last night we had our time together. We started with yummy soup that is Dad's favorite. I lit the candles on the table and actually let them eat on the actual table....this is VERY rare...normally we have a plastic tablecloth on it. Even though there was the normal screaming and getting out of our chair during dinner it was still a fun dinner together.

Then of course we had to blow all those candles out :) Look at these 2 cheesy grins....love them!

Earlier yesterday the boys and I had made Jesus a birthday cake. Weston helped me put sprinkles all over it and decorate it. He was very proud of it. So after dinner we put on our party hats and sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. The boys loved it and took turns blowing out the candle for Him. Weston told me that Jesus wanted a vacuum cleaner and a swimming pool for his birthday :)

Then the best part.....eating the yummy cake!

Then....this is what happens at our house after the party.....

After dinner and cake, Logan told the Christmas story while we acted it out with our nativity scene. Weston liked this....it was cute to get to do it this way.

Then we opened presents to each other. The boys knew exactly what to do. They were sure cute about it all. Weston had gotten each of us something through Awanas at church. It was all wrapped up and everything. That was really special that they do that for them. He gave each of us our presents and then proceeded to play with the one he gave Caleb all night :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE my 2 boys and hubby.....(and 3rd one on the way). This is one of my favoritest nights as a family. I know it'll only get more and more fun the older they get and the more they start really understanding why we are celebrating. I am so thankful for all that He has put in my life right now. The impact that one birth made that night so many years ago is beyond amazing to think about. I'm SO thankful that it has impacted and forever changed our house, our family, and how we live our lives.
