CHRISTmas

*Santa Came*

The girls had fun this year with the whole Santa thing, as Chas really got into it. Even though we do play "Santa," we make JESUS the top priority of Christmas. Each year we have the tradition (and always will) of starting Christmas morning out with the true Christmas story... Jesus' Birth. This Christmas Eve day we helped Chas with making her very own Nativity scene so that she could take part in telling the Christmas story Christmas morning by acting it out with her very own figures... She did wonderful...

Chas bringing in the Wise Men!

Making Cookies for Santa! Clay and I got the best end of this deal ;)

Chas with her "thoughtful" heart, had to make Mrs. Claus

and the reindeer one along with Santa's!Writing Santa a letter!!! (And he wrote back too!)

The girls Christmas Morning with their toys!Cherish got into Santa's left over cookies

during the opening of her presents...

you can see her top priorities :)

We thought it was hilarious!!!!

Cherish got her very own first Baby doll!

It came with a doggie-- her favorite!

This was such a precious memory to us... Cherish loves BOB the tomato!!! And Chas came up with the idea (again her thoughtful heart) that she would color Cherish a Bob picture for Christmas. So she did, and she folded it up and put it in a little baby stocking and hid it in the tree until Christmas morning. Cherish loved it as you can see and the picture is now hanging over her crib!!! Sweet memories!!!

Thank you Lord for sharing some of your greatest treasures with me... MY FAMILY!
