Blessed Beyond Measure: Christmas Morning

The excitement is one of my favorite things to capture on Christmas Morning each year. Chastity loves getting gifts! She has been wanting to play guitar with Daddy so was so excited about getting her very own little guitar. And as I post this in January (almost a month after Christmas) she has been going around the house strumming a tune while singing her songs- I love to watch her get so into it.

And little Cherish got a Ukulele... Really a little guitar her size. She is funny and can make the most of everything in life having a blast. I love the bed head in this picture. I could just squeeze her she is so adorable!!!!

The story behind this picture is that Chas has basically dreamed of having a jewelry box with a dancing ballerina in it. So we finally found one that was reasonable this year and Daddy got it for her for Christmas. I wish you could have seen her mesmerized watching the dancing ballerina when she opened the jewelry box and heard the music. It was priceless!

Cher got a tent/tunnel/tee pee for Christmas and the girls had a blast that entire morning playing in it and having "Camp outs" in it with all their new toys and babies.

Each Christmas Morning before the girls can go in and see what "Santa" brought them, we read and let the girls tell the true Christmas story. They got so into it this year. We used the nativity scene they made last year (Momma had plans for them to make a new one each year- but this year came too fast and it just slipped my mind until late Christmas Eve night- so we improvised). Everyone acted out the part of the character they had. Of course there was a fuss over who got Baby Jesus- but it worked out. Its so neat to see how much they really already know this story at such a young age.
