Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve and Day have been so wonderfully exciting and relaxing at the same time.  This is our self-timed picture we took before heading to Christmas Eve service at our church.

Nana, Papa, Hannah, and Rebeka met us at church, then we went to Shogun's for our Christmas Eve dinner.  Elizabeth was practically bouncing off the walls from the moment they got here.

After dinner, we opened up our pajamas and hung out by the fire.




I was so excited for Elizabeth to come downstairs this morning to see what Santa brought her.  She got the most amazed look on her face when she saw her bicycle, but she played shy and stuck to her daddy's leg.  I think she was just really in awe that "Santa" actually brought her the bike she asked for. 

It didn't take long before she was on that bike and peddling around the house.


She saw that her stocking was full too and immediately grabbed it to see what was inside.


After all the presents under the tree were opened, we went to the basement where Santa had left another surprise.  I think the train table is a present to her and her daddy.


This picture cracks me up because just like every other 21st century family, we spent a lot of our time on some sort of electronic device.  But we did get to stay in our pajamas all day long, which was my main goal this year.  We even ate our turkey dinner in our pjs!
