presents in sight
getting the goods out of the stockings
fascinated by homemade gifts
...and a candy cane
this year was our first christmas at home with our own little family.
the girls made it so fun and special.
they keep us on our toes, but more importantly, they keep our perspective in the right place.
one night before christmas, christian caught minnie playing with the nutcrackers and her little manger. when he asked her what she was doing she said she was making the wisemen watch over baby Jesus.
i also found this little creation when i was picking up toys one day.
minnie had carefully placed all the little people manager characters in a row facing baby Jesus.
while the presents and festivities are all very fun and exciting, we recognize the real meaning behind it all. christiand and i are having fun working on teaching the girls that Jesus IS the gift at christmas time and always. ironically, as we work to teach them, they always end up teaching us.
