Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Christmas Eve was nice and quiet and relaxing!  In the morning I got dinner ready and TJ made cookies with the kids for Santa!  The rest of the day was spent relaxing.  We then had dinner and went to a Christmas Eve devotional.  After the devotional we came home and opened PJs and then we Google chatted with Grandma and Grandpa Warner and my siblings.  Grandpa read us the Christmas story out of Luke 2.  Then we sang songs and acted crazy before saying goodnight!  Christmas Eve our kids were asleep in record time.  I was surprised at how quickly they were both asleep!







 Ready for the Christmas Devotional.


 Opening Christmas PJs!





 These two are beyond adorable!
 The kids woke up at 5:50, which was perfect!  They went to bed at 7:30 so they did a great job sleeping!  And by 5:50 Mom and Dad were waiting for the kids to wake up anyways!  We get way to excited!
 Where to start!




 Every year Santa brings our family the BIG BOX!  It comes but no one knows who it is for until Christmas morning.  This year it was for the kids and Mommy!  Mommy was surprised to see her name!  The kids got a Nook to share and Mommy got a Google tablet.  The kids were so excited to get a tablet!  Lily has wanted one for years!  They are learning how to share!


 Logan really wanted a Minion for Christmas and so he was over the moon excited when he got a dancing Dave!  He loves that minion!
 Lily was so excited to get her own scooter!  She has wanted one for a while now!

 Logan also loves Dusty

 Daddy got some sport games.  He is looking forward to playing with Uncle Collin!



We had a great Christmas!  We were truly spoiled!  We enjoyed the time we got to spend together and most importantly we enjoyed celebrating our Savior, Jesus Christ, birth!  We took a lot of time talking with the kids about the true meaning of Christmas.  Even Logan at two years old understood that the special day was all because of Jesus's birth!  He even wanted to throw Jesus a birthday party and give him a Finn Mcmissle from the movie CARS!  It warms my heart every time I hear my children answer Christmas questions about our Savior and not about Santa!  We enjoy having Santa come, but we know that it is because of Christ that we celebrate!
