happy birthday to Jesus

christmas morning 2009

what a joy it was to spend christmas morning as a family!! i really don't think i've EVER enjoyed christmas this much! after a fun christmas eve at grandma and grandpa hansbauers, we woke up on christmas day to see what santa had brought. greta reminded us to sing happy birthday to baby Jesus, and we checked the advent calendar one last time before opening gifts. we have decided to do three gifts a piece for christmas, following with the christmas story where the wisemen brought three gifts for Jesus. (thanks tricia for the idea!) it felt like just the right about of gifts....the kids were THRILLED at each one, and it gave us time to really enjoy each gift, as well as lots of time to enjoy our time together. click on the photo above to see pictures from our morning....
