We started off Christmas morning reading Luke's account of Jesus' birth. We then proceeded to open the gifts. We discovered the day before that Anson and Cameron believed that Santa was going to bring them presents, even after stressing to them repeatedly that their is no such thing as Santa. Anyway Doug explained to them again what Christmas is all about and that the presents were from us because we love them and not from Santa. They seemed okay with that. Maybe next year we can research Christmas traditions with them and how certain things came to be, like Santa.Brandon's first Christmas he seemed more interested in the wrapping paper than the actual gifts. But he still seems to like the new ride on toy that he got.
Anson and Cameron got a lot of 'Cars' toys this year. They still love anything to do with 'Cars'
We still like to go to Grandma's house for Christmas (and Grandpa's)...
After we were done our family Christmas celebrations we headed over to Doug's mom and dad's for food and more presents. We also read of Jesus' birth from the Bible, sang carol's, and some even went for a snowmobile ride. It was a very nice day and a great way to celebrate our savior's birth.
