We started our celebrations on Christmas eve...which is my favorite. We had a very kid friendly casual dinner at our house with my parents and my Grandpa Bowthorpe. We played trains, ate, opened jammies and one gift, told a story about special meanings in Christmas, read the bible Christmas story, watched funny Christmas Movies, set out Santa's brownies and juice box...and candy cane, and hit the bed by 9:30. Santa had even entered by 10...;) :
For the 11th year, we had to wake our kids up for Christmas morning. So around 7:30 we got them up. I will just consider myself lucky because I can remember chompin' at the bit at like 4 a.m. when I was a kid! I bet it won't last too much longer. They were SO cute, all of them excited for themselves, for each other, and we had a great morning.:
We finished the day off with a visit from my Grandpa Bowthorpe. We visited Kael and Emily's house, and then spent the evening and dinner at my parent's house. It was very casual, laid back....just perfect.:
Gavin had a cute little Christmas countdown thing in his room. I had noticed he had changed it to "364" Days until Christmas...hehe. Let's not get ahead of ourselves buddy! Let's get the new year of 2011 here first!

Your kids are darling. I"m glad you had a great Christmas. I was thinking...I missed our wrapping party because then I got to see everything your kids were getting. 364 days right? :)
Looks like a great time!!!
Your Christmas sounded amazing. I wish I could get my family to read from the Bible and a read a Christmas story. We were lucky to get the animated story of Christ's Birth in.
Cute.
Glad y'all had a great day. Thought of you lots.
