Christmas at home

What a blessing this Christmas was. Well, really every Christmas is wonderful. But this one, I think because my kids are a little older and excited about the events. Kaylie, my oldest, could not wait to help with our elf on the shelf, she could not wait to help wrap her sisters gifts from Santa. She was so excited that she got to eat the cookies and milk we left out for Santa, until she was informed that our dog did that for her...Seeing their joy and excitement on Christmas morning was just such a delight. Brought happiness to my husband and I.We are so blessed here in our home! God has, and always will, provide, see us through the tough times, smile with us through the joyful times. Our year has not been easy, but we are happy. As I learn to rely on God more and more, He is showing me just how faithful He is. I am thankful for Jesus being born and I am thankful for the hope I have in Him.The pictures below... The one on the left is just before the kids came down the stairs and the one on the right is just after my husband picked up the wrapping paper and took a seat. LOVE them.
