{Christmas 2008}

Our small pile of gifts. A little smaller than normal but it has been a good thing. I was amazed at how the girls were still so excited about having Christmas and how they were happy with what they got and didn't wonder why there wasn't more this year. I think we train them to want more because we over give and spoil them. We had a fun evening last night having our little family of 5 Christmas. We always have it early because of all the other extended family Christmases later.

Ready and waiting!

Little Sister was eating a piece of a candy cane and her hands were sticky. Can you tell she is waiting for someone to wash them off?!

Books from their stockings.

Big Sister was thrilled with the jean shirt I picked for her.

Big Sister reading us the Christmas story from the Bible. {Yes, she is wearing her new shirt and a pair of pajama pants! Go figure.}

Little Sister showing off her new engine, Percy covered with frost.

Big Sister detailed these shirts for Middle and Little Sister. It is so fun to see them start wanting to give gifts to each other.
