Every year since Steve and I got married my mom has made an ornament for our tree. Here is this years.
Our Christmas breakfast tradition of sparkling grape juice and cinnamon rolls. Yes, we eat breakfast before opening any presents.
The stockings are filled and they are waiting patiently to see what is inside.
Steve ready to open his stocking.
Here we go!!!!!
They each got a Zhu Zhu pet or a Kung Zhu in there stocking. I don't think they needed another gift. :) Once they finished with their stockings they played with them for a half hour before wanting to open their presents.

Thank you mom for the dog's presents.
They love their new toys!
It's present time!

I included multiple pictures of Mia giving her daddy a gift. I know they won't do it justice but the shear joy she has when giving a gift is contagious - especially when it is a gift for her daddy.

Our Christmas dinner consisted of grilled steak. I think this is a new tradition that we need to start every year. Yes, we had to scrape the snow off the grill and if you look close you can see the snow flakes falling while Steven was cooking. We did wake up to a white Christmas this year but it really started snowing more during the day.
The table is all set.
Here is one picture of Christmas dinner where Mia is drinking from a glass that is almost as big as her. They all did well eating a somewhat formal dinner for us.
After letting the steak settle a bit we had a cake and ice cream in celebration of Jesus' Birthday. It was a special ending to a wonderful day.
Thought this was just precious - all the kid's blowing out Jesus' candles after we sung Happy Birthday to Him.Thank you Jesus, for becoming a man, coming to earth, growing up here, and suffering for us so that we can have forgiveness and live with you for all Eternity.
