Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Look who stopped by the Kidd's home on Christmas Eve! The kids have been so excited for Christmas this year... especially David who is my last Santa believer. He even told me a few days before Christmas that he knows Santa is going to come to our house first. So cute.


Santa ate all of the goodies left for him! (Or maybe it was Mrs. Clause that ate them all. I can't remember).


Look at those happy faces opening up their Christmas stalkings. Makes me want to cry... I love those smiles so much. They are just so sweet and they were just so happy and so appreciative of everything. I just love that about my kids!


Christmas Eve snapshot. Can you guess which of these cool presents I bought for myself but disguised as a gift to the kids. Hint: It has a huge arrow pointing to it. I hope I can master it again! (Jason is totally mortified that we now own one. He thinks I'm such a nerd!)


Christmas Eve we continued our yearly tradition of having the grandkids dress up and act out the story of Jesus' birth. Aren't they all so cute?! We had quite the limited cast this year due to Tommy, Blake, and Brody being out of town this year, but we managed and Audrey was very agreeable to being one of the wise men. We were going to use Matthew as our other wise man, but he prefered to stay in daddy's arms! I guess no myrrh for baby Jesus this year. Alley also decided this wasn't her thing yet.


David and Catie make such a cute Mary and Joseph.

Ethan is such a trooper and didn't complain once about having to be part of the story and dress up. Unfortunately, his body language gives him away a little. haha.


It was such a wonderful few days and it has been so nice just living in my pj's and hanging out with the family. We feel so blessed and love this time of year to remember the birth of or Savior and what a miraculous gift his life was to us.
