Merry Christmas!
We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2: 16-20
Here is our family in front of our Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. (gheesh.. the tree looks little behind me! ;-)
So far, we have had a great Christmas day! Matthew was awake well before 5am, but we were able to keep everyone upstairs until about 7am.. amazing!
Here is a picture of the kids just after they opened their stockings:
Santa brought Anna a "Littlest Petshop" set and Matthew received a large Transformer toy. For the family Santa gave us a Monopoly Junior game and the DVD Ratatouille.
The big surprise for all this year was that we bought the family a Nintendo Wii! For all that know, these are amazing video game machines that are in very high demand and almost impossible to find.! Ebay says the day again!
As usual, we received way to many gifts and were spoiled rotten by our family. Many thanks for all the great gifts! We all love the games, books, toys and all the clothes!
We were done opening our presents by about 8:30am and then had breakfast and a short rest afterwards. We called my parents, my grandparents and then Alana called her family.
The kids opened many of the gifts and started getting right into them. Here is a picture of Anna painting the jewelry box craft that Uncle Ken gave her. What a perfect gift!
After getting dressed and cleaning up the house a bit Auntie Leah and Uncle Ron were over for a visit. We showed all of our gifts and then settled to the basement for a few games on the Wii! I think that the tennis and boxing games were the biggest hits. This video game system uses wireless, motion sensing controls for the game action. In order to play the games you need to stand up and swing the controller like you would a tennis racket, etc.
Here is a picture of Alana "boxing" against Matthew. Leah is on the side giving moral support ;-)
Here is a short video of Matthew and Anna "boxing" with the Wii.
After Leah and Ron headed home Dad took the turkey out of the oven and started the veggies for Christmas Dinner. It will be a quiet dinner as we have no guests (first time in a long time!), but that is fine.. more leftovers for tomorrow!!!
That is all for now.. we will post more pictures later this evening.
