Christmas, Finally!

I am so eager to start this new year, but I'm so behind on blogging!  Here are a few collages that show the best parts of our Christmas celebration.  The first is our Nativity on Christmas Eve.  See if you can tell which one is me and which one is my twin sister, Rachel!

Here is our Christmas Eve.  We have a tradition of allowing the kids to open one gift on Christmas Eve, knowing that it will always be new pajamas!  We're so sneaky.  We get PJs too, so we all get to sleep in our new pajamas, and then wake up in them on Christmas morning.

And here is Christmas morning.  It takes a while to open all the presents when there are two families doing it together.  We had so much fun.

We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas.  I love my sister so much and am more grateful than words can say that they were able to come and spend Christmas with us.  Having them here made it Christmas for me.  We all got some fun gifts, and have been playing with all of our new games daily.  (More than once  a day, sometimes!)  We are so grateful to have a home, family and a stable life that allows us to celebrate as we did.  We thank God for all that we have.  We are blessed.
