Josh and I planned well ahead this year for Christmas for the kids. We knew that otherwise they wouldn't get much. Turns out they are VERY spoiled...who woulda guessed! They got some great stuff that will keep them busy for months to come. Kaleb is in love with all his new dinosaurs and drums, Kylie her Hannah Montana filled room and new keyboard, Kelsey and her Rose Petal Cottage and babies. Grandpa comes over every Christmas morning to spend it witht he kids. This year he brought his girlfriend, Teresa. They have been together nearly a year. My kids adore her. We had our traditional morning of waking up and gathering on the couch to read the Christmas story from the Bible. We thanked God for this holiday and each of the kids told us that it was Jesus's birthday and that is why we celebrate. They have really grasped the concept this year more than ever. We made a cake and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus later in the day. That was what they looked forward to more than presents. Mamaw and Papaw came over later in the morning for presents as well as Papaw Scott and Grandma Donita a little after that. We had a great family day. I will never regret making our decision to stay home as a family for Christmas and letting grandparents come to us!
