When Christmas Comes

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

I love that the house is decorated, there are plenty of cookies and treats to eat and family time abounds. A couple extra days when hubby can be home with us and we can relax and just 'be'. This year it seemed especially significant that while we awaited the Christ child, we were also embracing our last Christmas as a family of four and eagerly celebrating the upcoming birth of our newest addition. While still several weeks away, it has not been lost on us that baby will be our most precious gift yet.

I thought I'd toss in photos of ways we've been enjoying our Christmas days.


Gingerbread (pre-baked, pre-packaged) House on Christmas Eve



One of my favorite things, celebrating Christmas at church, amidst the poinsettias



Birthday cake for Baby Jesus



Christmas smiles and sibling love





Christmas morning gift opening





All sorts of goodies for me



Full hearts and a happy, healthy family



Any wonder that this is my favorite time of year?

Hopefully your household is still enjoying the days of Christmas and is happy and healthy too!

  3. Glad to see you had a great Christmas! I bet those two will be great big siblings and will have lots of hugs for the little one too! Gotta love those pre-baked pre-formed gingerbread houses! We did one this year too. You get to do the fun part with the kids without doing the difficult, often frustrating part (I've had gingerbread break after baking it) Looks like they did a great job!
