Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Day

After bedtime, before the chaos.

We had church this morning. Matthew got up at 6:45am, but since we had church, we decided to wait to do presents. Luckily, there was an Aquadoodle left in the tree ready to go to church.

Once Matthew opened his trains, and tracks he was done with Christmas. He didn't care about any of the other gifts. We moved them to his train table. He decided to delay his nap by playing. And playing. And playing.

Even Chloe was happy today.

Christmas Eve

In our home, we read the Christmas story, well, really we read about the first 12 years of Jesus life as told in Luke 2.

Then we open one gift. Matthew opened the gift from his Grammy Sharon. Nick and I opened one from each other.

What is another name for Jesus?

Luke 2:11

11 For unto you is ^aborn this day in the city of David a ^bSaviour, which is Christ the ^cLord.


I heard the bells on Christmas
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope that you find peace, and enjoy the season.
