We spent Christmas at home again and it was relaxed and wonderful! We followed our Christmas tradition. After I got up and got ready I made our Christmas breakfast of strawberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, juice and coffee. Everyone got dressed while I was cooking. We all wear red on Christmas! We ate together and then gathered in the living room for the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2. We ended the reading in prayer, thanking God for sending His Son to Earth to live a sinless life, die on the cross for OUR sins, and rise again so that we may have eternal life with Him if we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour! I hope you remember what Jesus has done for us, not just on Christmas, but every day of the year. Happy Birthday Jesus!
Next we opened presents. It's such a joy to see the excitement in our children's eyes! While Daddy and the kids put things together and played, I put out lots of snacks to feast on throughout the day. We had our Christmas dinner around 4 or so. It was a wonderful day!

Could you share your recipe for those pancakes? Her or VUH?
Looks like a fun day. I like the red, and the little guy is really growing.
Isn't Christmas so fun??? I HAVE to take my tree down tonight! :o}
I can't believe that Helene is 4 years old! You have such a beautiful family.
The strawberry pancakes are very simple...just homemade pancakes with strawberries and whip cream on top! I use the Better Homes "favorite pancakes" recipe from an older BH cookbook. Yum!!
Angela-You DO need to take your tree down...unless you want to move to Santa Claus, IN where they keep Christmas decorations up all year round! PS-You're really trying to keep that picture from me, huh? It must be bad! Heehee! As soon as it gets warm and green I want you to do our family photos...PLEASE!?
Kelly - Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas. I love the traditions and excitement! Your kids look so sweet in their red! I love it!
Looks like lots of fun. Kids are cute as usual! *Ü*
