Shiny new bikes! Two new coats! Bags full of goodies and toys! All wrapped, and then delivered by one special elf involved in the process. :)
Glory to God!!!!!!
The room was beaming with joy!
All for my little girls who had no idea! ;)
(my girls having a picnic on winter break;)
God always knows what we need! :)
Just like the first wrapped gift long ago...!
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:12
Everyone was happy to see presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve! We were all set for our family's tradition to begin, with the first presents to go under the Christmas tree!
New pajamas were waiting for everyone!
While we waited to open them, Santa appeared on top of the firetruck outside our house with the Lansdowne Volunteers handing out candy canes! :)
Then 'The Polar Express' came on TV! :D
Finally when evening came, everyone was excited to open their new pajamas! As you can see Hannah, Lera, and Alice are wearing theirs! :)))
Our whole family put on their new pajamas and watched Christmas movies together until bedtime! :)
Then came Christmas...
With all the presents around Christmas tree! :)
How instrumental is our God in showing His Love for us!
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
1 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2:13-14
This was Alice before going to bed on Christmas Eve. She held up the candy canes the firemen and Santa brang. Then she placed them on the Christmas tree. <3 :)
Happy Birthday To Jesus! ~
On Chrismas morning before opening the presents, Jim read from Luke chapter 2 about our Savior's birth. We sang 'Happy Birthday to Jesus!' Then we opened all the presents He blessed us with...
After opening presents, our girls couldn't wait to get dressed in their new clothes and ride their new bikes outside before going to grand moms and poppys house! <3
We went to Jim's parents house for dinner and met all the family there. Then our big kids came back to our house.
Just a few more pictures of Christmas and some from our Christmas party that we had at our house the on the 21st. Thank You God for CHRISTmas! For baby Jesus that came that first Christmas morning. Who grew and went to the cross to die for our sins. Who rose again on the third day to go and prepare a place for us in heaven. Who will come again to take us home. Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory. Psalm 24:10
