We had a Very Merry Christmas this year. This is our Family newsletter:
I neglected to take any really good pictures of all our activities. Here are a few of the times I picked it up...
This is the gingerbread house the kids and I made from scratch! Yummy recipe. We're still picking at it. :)

I always take a picture of the tree before we go to bed on Christmas Eve. I love setting up the gifts to make it look like there is more than there is. Did pretty good this year. :)
Our tree stand was melted last year, you can't tell that it's being propped up on one side by a cd case. *giggles*.
I was blessed to be able to pay for all of our Christmas this year from my Etsy Business account selling patterns. Heavenly Father always provides a way.
We decided early on in our Christmas Preparations that we would start a new tradition limiting the gifts. The kids would get pjs the night before, one santa gift, filled stockings, and then 3 gifts from Mom and Dad representing the gifts given to Christ from the wise men.
Gold: Something Joyful (fun what they've been wanting)
Frankincense: Something Mindful (a game, book etc)
Merr: Something Meaningful (homemade, especially for them)
It worked out perfect. The kids were so happy with their gifts this year!
Evelyn and her stocking. She got Princess PJS and a pink robe to sleep in on Christmas Eve.
Egan and his stocking. You can't see his PJS, but he got Perry the Platypus fleece pjs. Love the antlers.
Lego Building set.
Easy Bake Oven from Santa.
Princess Barbies! And a pretty girl with her eyes closed...
