We started the day by opening 
stockings...each kid got their own mug, a coloring book and some other odds and ends. Rachel then made a great crepe breakfast (with sausage links...real sausage, not turkey. Sorry Alyssa!). After breakfast, we read through the Luke 2 account of Christmas. We felt it was impotant to make the kids wait for presents and not go rushing through them right away. They really got into the Biblical account of Jesus' birth, and though I'm sure they didn't completely understand everything, they were able to give a pretty accurate retelling of the story. After our time in the Bible we opened presents. There were a LOT of gifts and we thank everyone that sent something this year. We hope that each and every one of you had a great day with your families and that you were able to relax and enjoy your day! Merry Christmas!
