Christmas at our house

There are broken and new things around here...

Broke the pyjamas as gifts on Christmas Eve 

(good thing because they were given lots of pjs from families the next day)

Made two (or three) new traditions this year.

Number one, the whole family will buy a significant ornament every year to celebrate our Saviour's birth.

We bought this one this year.

Our tree this year

special ornament from two years ago

I see me and hubby

Number two (and three), we will recite the Christmas Story on the eve of Christmas, 

and sing Christmas carols after.
All before opening presents.

Our stockings-for-Christmas-morning tradition was kept.

Goldfish - always a hit!

Mario calendar (free from Nintendo!)

My sister and my funny girl!

Hats for everybody..and hubby's awesome new winter coat!

"Octopus" Prime for Jethro

This year's annual Christmas Day's family gathering was held at our house.

The house was filled with goodies

and with things that will continually remind us the reason for Christmas.

We decided to repeat the Christmas Story and carol-singing.

Wished I made copies of the song before the guests arrived.

Jakob did a great job with his violin.

I hope and pray that he can use this talent to glorify God even more.

And because I am sure our families are waiting for the pictures…

Here they are…
