Camden on Christmas morning in his cute little Christmas PJ's!! Sweet Baby!!
Our favorite gift of all at Christmas was our new baby brother!!! However, the kids were very excited about the things that Santa brought them. We started another tradition when Carsen was a baby and that was we only ask for three gifts from Santa. We choose three gifts because that is what the wise men brought to Jesus. After all that is what this holiday is about and as a family it is important to us to keep Jesus the center of our Christmas. We have a cake on Christmas Eve that says "Happy Birthday Jesus" and we sing happy birthday to him. My kids love that we get to sing to Jesus. The three gifts is a tradition that as the kids have gotten older I am so glad that we started especially since the older they get the bigger there gifts start to get. I love that they will take something off of there list if they see something else they like better they won't make a list a mile long. Christmas morning is such a sweet time. My parents spend the night so they can see the kids and my mom makes us a great breakfast and Tom's parents join in for the fun as well. I am happy to start these sort of traditions for my family. These are the things that the kids will remember growing up. They not remember the toys they got but hopefully they will remember the time spent with family!!!
