Christmas At Our House

On Christmas Sunday...

dressed like Daddy in a dapper suit!

Trying to get him to smile...uh, yeah...that backfired.  Daddy has a nice smile, though!

Since we went with a "horizontal Christmas tree" on our mantel this year, we needed a place for the gifts.  Enter the play pen!  It was the perfect holding tank away from a curious little boy!

The Britton Family at our church's Christmas Eve candlelight service.

Take two!

Little man.

Lookin' sharp!

Love the expression on his face!

Christmas morning!

A birthday party for Jesus with fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls, compliments of Nathan.

My handsome husband getting ready to dive into his icing-slathered cinnamon roll. (Somehow, though, he got the wrong mug!)

Walking around in his Christmas stripes.

Daddy starts to divvy out the gifts.

Isaac's turn first!

Pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa Britton!

Thank you!

Ooh...what's this?

A peg-pounding set from Mema and Papa!

A fun little puzzle set from Grandmommy and Granddaddy.

Linked up bath toys - a real favorite of the day!

A present from Daddy's trip to Israel. (Check out the fish lips!)

Mom and Dad get in on the fun, too!

Oh, wow!  A box!

Isaac - our greatest gift! (Fish lips again!)

A lovely nativity set that Nathan brought me from Bethlehem itself!  It is hand-carved from olive wood and has a music box feature that plays Silent Night.  I LOVE it!

Isn't it beautiful?

Nathan also gave me an "add-a-pearl" necklace for each child who joins our family.  The big pearl in the middle represents us, and then there is a small pearl on either side for Isaac and the baby to some.  What a special gift!

Needless to say, we had a great Christmas!

Well, I think that takes care of catching up from the month of December.  Now, it's on to a new year and all that 2014 will hold!
