Christmas at Our House

 

Though our fireplace doesn't exactly work as perfectly as we had hoped, I do love the way it looks with our stockings hanging up and the really nice golden deer hangars we got from my mom.  It makes Christmas morning so much more fun to collect our stockings from the fireplace rather than the old way where they were just lying on the ground or hanging from a tv stand.

We continue to have a great time opening presents in the morning after some Monkey bread and reading one of the Christmas stories from the bible.  Here is Gavin opening his gifts.

Among other things, I got these lovely turkey socks to go run in.  I think they are pretty hilarious!  We had another year with lots to be thankful for, and I am specifically very thankful for the time I have with my family and the joy and laughter we can share with each other.
