And So This is Christmas

We so enjoy having Christmas at home with our own family. The kids all get dressed in their red nightgowns on Christmas Eve and I have NEVER seen all three kids go to sleep so early before in my life! I wish every night were Christmas Eve. Brevin was the first one up in the morning. He came into our room and snuggled with us in bed and just talked for awhile. Then we woke up the girls and headed downstairs. Santa came!

Santa was more than one person this year. Gifts were sent from new penpals in Pennsylvania, sweet ladies in our ward who just wanted to share a little something for each of our kids and relatives who are amazing about giving gifts that they know kids will love.

My favorite part was taking the kids to the dollar store so they could choose something for each other. Lindie really got into finding the gift that was just right. Michaela wanted to choose something pink for everyone and Brevin just grabbed and tossed. They were each so excited to see what they gave each other and were so appreciative.

Lindie is still thanking Heavenly Father for a wonderful Christmas in each of her prayers. So sweet. She really wants to send a thank you note to Santa.

We decided to take the kids pictures of the things that they received for thank you notes this year. It was fun.

Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Robertson's is always fun. My kids love spending that one on one time with them. And Auntie Jen is so good about letting them know how much she loves them.

It was a wonderful, wonderful day. Sitting back and enjoying the kids and watching them play, play, play.
