I can't beleive Christmas has come and gone. We had a wonderful Christmas with the kiddos. Santa came and was very good to us this year. AEH was really into the Santa thing more this year. We really had to hide things and watch what we said a lot more this year. One of us even stood guard outside her room while the other put the gifts out and put gifts together. Her big present was a trampoline. SLH took off on Wed. and he and Granddad put it together, while Juju took the kids to their house. We had to close the blinds and cross our fingers that she wouldn't see it on Thurs. I was so nervous. I let her stay in her room and watch a lot of movies that day. She loves it and is going to really enjoy it.
SLH surprised me with a new camera on Christmas Eve. I was so in need of one. On Christmas day, I was also surprised with a Wii. We have all enjoyed playing it and I think if will bring some fun family time. Of course, I love playing the tennis game. AEH has enjoyed the bowling. I also want to get the New Super Mario Brothers but all the stores are out of it right now.
EMH got some fun things too. Odviously he doesn't really understand anything yet but he enjoyed playing with his new toys and he is also liking the trampoline.
We also had fun with our families. The kids got more toys at their houses. We are still trying to find the floor around here. SLH and I got a lot of great things too.
We are just so blessed and thankful for all we have. However, we really want to try and make our focus more about the real meaning of Christmas and not Santa and toys. It can be so hard in our society. We get so bogged down in the hustle and bustle of the season and we don't stop and celebrate the birth of our Savior. AEH talked a lot about Baby Jesus this year and really seemed to understand the Christmas story better.
