Christmas Eve

 
Imagine our surprise when Jon Mark and I walked down the stairs on Christmas Eve and saw all the Santa had brought.  Santa can get a little carried away, but it is all for fun.  Imagine just how difficult it would have been if Santa hadn't brought everything already assembled.  If he hadn't Jon Mark and I would have been awake until 2 am assembling everything, and then we'd be so tired on Christmas morning.

 
One of our Christmas traditions is that we discuss in the weeks leading up to Christmas day, what spiritual gift the kids want to give Jesus that year.  Think of it kind of like a New Year's resolution, only different.  The goal being that of centering our minds on the true meaning of Christmas.  This year, Mercedes and Luke gave the gift of being kind to others.  And, Joshua gave the gift of gratitude. 



Ignore the pregnant lady in the background.  Clearly she didn't know that her picture was being taken.
