Our Christmas...

Wow!! Our Christmas was very busy but also very special. We spent time as a family (just us 5) but also with our extended family (both sides).
This first post is from our pre-Christmas activites, including Christmas Eve and it goes on from there...

At Nanna and Bubba's after the Christmas Eve service at our church. Every year I get to enjoy more of the service as the kids last longer before needing to be removed. This year I got to enjoy all the singing and the special music but heard the sermon from the nursery. Much better than last year when Mya peed on me 5 minutes in.

We enjoyed a special dinner with my parents, and the boys enjoyed sparkling juice in a special cup.

Mmmm, Ben and I's favourite, creme brulee and this time it was basil infused dark chocolate. It was amazing.

I was trying to get a pic of Mya in her Christmas pajamas but of course blankie is always in the way. Still you get the jist.

I LOVE this picture!!! It was totally a fluke, I took many after it trying to repeat or perfect it, none came close.

For the first time, Matt took the kids to cut down a tree. It was awesome, they had fun and the tree was so fresh it hasn't dropped needles all over the house. It is almost as tall as the ceiling. Ben did awesome reaching to put on our star.

It was hard to take a good picture of Ben in his Christmas concert. I think if you click them each you can see him better. He did awesome!! All the kids sang with so much heart and enthusiasm. We ordered a copy of the DVD of the whole concert and Ben can hardly wait to watch himself.
