We had such a great time this Christmas! Katie was so excited about everything this year- from helping decorate the tree and front door, to our elf on the shelf "josephfiv" (we don't know why she named him that either), to Christmas Eve services. She was also very excited about Christmas being Jesus's birthday- she wanted to make sure we would be making Him a cake and that she could help! We read the Christmas story several times and Katie was very concerned that Jesus was not born in a hospital, because that is where babies are born! She decided that if He wasn't born in a hospital that he should have been born in a hotel,because she loves hotels and they are kind of like hospitals,right? We explained that there was no room at any "hotels" and that is why he was born in the manger.
This was Ellie's first Christmas and she was so cute! We did not buy her as many things as we did for Katie, which was fine because she played more with the boxes and paper!
Christmas Eve we went to the service at our church at 3:00, then met my family at their church at 5:00, then after that we went with the fam to our traditional Christmas Eve dinner....at El Chico! We have been going there for at least ten years- before Jason and I were married!
Christmas morning was great- Katie slept in our room that night just in case she woke up she wouldn't see anything before she was suppossed too! We got up around 8:00 and she ran in and saw that the cookies and milk we had left for Santa had been eaten, then ran around the corner and saw all of her presents!
