It might have been in the wee hours of very early Christmas morning, when all was ready for all girls on Christmas morning (yes, that is probably the most I have ever procrastinated wrapping was this year). Baby Jesus was in place in his manger ahead of any of the wrapped gifts, since He is the greatest gift of all.
These were some happy and beautiful faces when they woke up on Christmas morning!
First things first, we read the Christmas Story before we even headed into the den. I love that even Allie was listening too!
The big girls wanted to go from youngest to oldest in gift opening this year. So here is Allie opening the first gift on her first Christmas morning with a little help from big sister Bekah.
All the big girls needed and got new dance leotards that they loved.
This one decided that this present was more fun to sit on than unwrap!
Grandpa made us a new beautiful manger this year and Allie seemed to like that it was just her size. She also loved holding baby Jesus in the manger too.
Allie had all the sisters helping her this Christmas. They all love her so much!
A new leotard for acrobatics
and a new leotard for ballet for Rachel.
A new raincoat for Brent
We were thankful for a quiet morning celebrating Jesus's birth and enjoying time together before a full and busy Christmas afternoon and evening. We each received gifts we enjoyed but, most of all, we are thankful to have each other and most of all, for Jesus and that He gave Himself for us!
