Christmas Time

Christmas time in our house is usually a mixture of many different things. Above all, we celebrate the birth of our Savior and the amazing gift of grace that he offers to all of us. We watched "The Nativity" on Christmas Eve, and it helped put our minds in the right place for the holidays. We are blessed in so many ways, especially for having each other. We also enjoy some other fun traditions of Christmas time. Even though our kids are passed the age of believing in Santa, we still have fun pretending and making cookies to set out for him on Christmas Eve. Can you believe that pig ate them all?!?


It has been a tradition for as long as I can remember, since having the kids, for the Owens grandparents to send them a pair of pajamas for Christmas, and we always let them open it on Christmas Eve. Here is a picture of this year's models! Kyla loves her footie pajamas, and believe it or not, Casey actually fits in a size 12/14!

A little excitement at 5 a.m. on Christmas morning (that's right.....5 a.m.).

Kyla showing off gifts from both sets of grandparents.

The kids made gingerbread houses on Christmas Day. As soon as Casey was finished, he asked when he could eat it. He's been a little sugar baby this Christmas season....time for all of us to detox!

It looks like you all had a great day! I love Kyla in her glasses and I think Grant has the same shirt that Casey is wearing in the first picture! We tried to call you tonight from Applebees to say thanks!

What a great holiday you had, I am so glad that you are making traditions and memories as a family. Kyla looks adorable in her new glasses, and Casey in a size 12-14, what do you feed that boy?
