Merry Christmas!

We celebrated our family Christmas this morning and enjoyed our Christmas Eve as a family at home last night. I love this time of the year and it was fun to celebrate the "Advent Conspiracy" at church as we gave the boys less presents while getting to bless an orphanage in Mexico. The boys still got plenty as God loves to give us good gifts and for us to bless others. On to the yummy cookie decorating from last night...



The more icing the better...that's my boy!!
We read our traditional Night before Christmas books to the boys.
Here are the boys ready to come downstairs to start Christmas morning.
Star Wars stocking stuffers...
You can't tell, but these light up like light sabers.
Andrew loves Yoda
Here are the swords they have waited on that we bought at Pioneer Days.
Ready to tear into some gifts!
Easton made a Larry Boy from construction paper for Owen.
Andrew wanted to give this to Isaac as he said, "Jesus is the Rock"!
Owen with his new backpack, coloring book, markers, and portable desk from Gma Stracke.
May we all have deeper revelation of God's love for us this Christmas as we tend to love ourselves and others according to how we view God's love for us. Love you guys!
