Christmas Eve this year was the same family celebration but different (in a good way). Different for a number of reasons but still a great time with family. We really enjoyed our time with family this year (we do every year but even more so this year). This feels like the most relaxed Christmas we’ve ever celebrated! I’m a little bummed that we didn’t take very many pictures (I’m sure this contributed to the relaxing part)

Cousin bonding time – football, iPod sharing, running for the sake of running

Crazy times with crazy kids. Where do these kids get all their energy??

Yummy food with great entertainment
Creme brulee was excellent! (It was my favorite yummy for the evening)

Present time! – the kids’ favorite part of the whole evening.

But most importantly – THANK YOU Jesus for coming as a baby. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you Lord for breathing life into our family again.
