We had a lovely couple of days. And lot's more pictures! (Though it seems we had some trouble keeping our eyes open in the pictures.) This year we decided to do our family celebration on Christmas Eve. So we woke up to filled stockings and got to open our presents. I was really proud of how thankful the kids were without even being reminded. I guess all that nagging eventually pays off. Anyway, we had some wonderful gifts from our very generous family and from each other. Then we had a fun day playing with our new stuff and hanging out together. Jomo took the kids out front to play a little football with Leo's new ball that he got from my brother. They had fun and got muddy. And the cherry on top was ordering take-out from our favorite restaurant! No cooking. Yay! We watched the Clone Wars movie, put the kids to bed, and watched some of my new season of Scrubs. Then today, Christmas day, we focused on celebrating Christ's birth. We made a birthday cake for Jesus, watched The Nativity Story, and talked a bit about the importance of God coming to live on earth. Another really good day.

Dina, I saw that you have one of my books on your list of current reads and wanted to say thanks for picking it up. Hope you enjoy it! I'd love your feedback once you're done, if you care to share it.
Your kids are adorable!! A very merry Christmas to your family.
Thanks! I actually took a look at it awhile back, read the first chapter, and now am just saving it until we catch up to that point in history when I'll read it with my daughter. It looks like it'll be fun and very accessible to my six-year old.
Hi Dina!
I enjoy your blog.
Z is turning into a really lovely lady - and she looks a lot like you.
I can't believe how time has passed.
The boys are adorable, too.
Happy New Year!
Love,
Beth (Méyé) Fisher
