Merry Christmas!!!

Well, it's that wonderful, magical day again this year!!!! I LOVE Christmas! It is my favorite holiday!!! The nice weather outside, hot coco by the fireplace, giving, receiving, and most of all... thinking of Him on this amazing winters day.

This year......

Grace and Claire came running into Max's room, (where Josh, Max and me were) and yelled, "Santa came!!! Look our stockings by our beds!!!" at 5:10 a.m.!!! I went back to bed and then woke up from Max shaking me and telling me we were supposed to wake mom and dad up right now. I (finally) woke up and we opened our red and green stockings that lay besides our beds. We all received candy, oranges, and small games. Not long after that, Max, Grace, Claire, Lucy, my mom, and dad, and I sang on the stairs and ran downstairs one at a time. We were all so excited to see Santa had made it to our loving home. A new computer and TV for are family and each gift for us kids. The spirit of Christmas was in the room. I LOVE Christmas SO much!!! We chose names for Christmas and this year, I got Max. I was SO exited to open it. I went shopping with my friends and I had already thought of the present...... His "Dream Hat"!! We got to The Hat Club, and i couldn't find the right hat . I kept looking until I decided on a DC hat. I got it and on Christmas Eve night, he received it. He was very happy and thankful. Lucky, he liked it almost as much as his "Dream Hat". I loved staring at him opening the layers and layers of wrapping paper to find The Hat. Hope you had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!! Pictures to come!
