CHRISTMAS 2013

On Christmas Eve we drove down to Reiko and Bryan's in Prince Frederick.  It was so much fun to spend the holidays with family.  Their new house is AMAZING!  The kids loved spending time with their cousin Ari and the 'rough rough' Memphis.  Christmas Eve and Christmas for that matter was spent preparing an incredible FEAST.  It was so delicious.  The kids actually slept pretty well considering all of the excitement of Christmas and a different environment.  Luke of course was the first to wake up shortly after 6am.

I love Christmas time and the opportunity we have to be with family and celebrate the birth of our Savior.  I hope we were able to convey the true meaning to our kiddos as to why we celebrate this holiday.  I am not only grateful for the birth of Christ, but for His life and His atoning sacrifice.  Where would we be without such a loving caring Savior?!  I never enjoy how abruptly this holiday ends, but lucky for us we spent a few more days celebrating because the day after Christmas Pa and Grammy came to visit!
