It's always a little tough to know when to celebrate our family Christmas. I like to make it feel special, but sometimes the kids just want to open more presents. We had planned to do a special meal, and then open our presents upon returning on the 26th, however due to David feeling sick, we just opened presents. We have grand New Year's plans :) It is always fun to see the kids get excited about what they received. I was so proud of Samuel as after he opened the cars he "doesn't have from Cars 2." He went over to David and said, "Thanks for getting me the cars I always wanted." In this age of materialism (I admit we sometimes fall prey to it.) I hope our children are learning to be thankful for the many blessings we have and to share generously with those around them. We pray you had a wonderful Christmas!! I know we did and we look forward to 2012 and all the joys and blessings that will bring.
