Christmas Day 2009

Let the shredding begin! Christmas morning 2009 got started with a bang. Oddly enough we had to wake Ian up. I would have thought that he would have been up at the crack of dawn.

Santa was good to the kids this year. They got new slippers, and Barbies, and sketch pads, and remote control cars, etc etc. They had a great time opening their gifts and they also really enjoyed giving us their gifts. Their school has an event where they can pick from some inexpensive items. They were so excited for us to finally open them.

Later in the day we went to my mother's house where the kids got even more gifts!

I've tried, probably unsuccessfully, to remind the kids that this day is really about celebrating Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice. Perhaps as they get older I'll have better luck.
