Christmas Day

Goodmorning! The girls actually let us sleep until 6:54! Here they are so excited to see what Santa brought...

American Girl Doll for Lindy, an 'alive' leopard cub for Sophie (at her feet) and doll crutches, casts and accessories for Abby (on Kit in the picture)! Just what they all wanted!

He ate his cookies and chocolate soy milk...

Daddy and the girls bought tobi an elf outfit.

Then to the Matossian side celebration.

Aunt Debbie and Uncle John got them matching beautiful coats!

Tomorrow is Christmas at Mimi and Papa's!

We can hardly wait for more celebrating!

Here is a silly video of Lindy...she was so excited EVERY gift she opened! Here she opened a little lamb and she broke out in song and dance across the house!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas! We went to two churches for Christmas Eve services...Sea Coast Grace in Cypress. Bob helped direct their event. And my new church, Mount of Olives in Mission Viejo. What a joy to celebrate Jesus today!

This is the family in front of the set at Sea Coast Grace.

The girls opening their Christmas Eve presents....

which are Christmas pajamas!

Ready for Santa to come!!

We ended the night with our final four Adornaments. If you don't know what these are...it is a great tradition...they are 12 ornaments that teach the kids different names of Jesus. Tonight we read about King of Kings, Bread of Life, The Good Shepherd and Savior. Then the girls get to hang them on the tree. Then off to bed they went.

I am so excited for Christmas Morning. Another tradition we have is that the first present they get to open says "To Everyone From God". Inside I have collected all the baby Jesus' from around the house...ornaments and nativities etc...then all go in the bag and when they open it they go put them all back in their places!

Have a Merry Christmas!
