Christmas

Stefan and I spent Christmas Eve wrapping presents, mostly for the kids, and decorating stockings, and it felt like a little rite of passage of parenthood.  I said to Stefan that I felt like a real parent after doing it!

We have been trying to teach our kids (well, just Holly this year) that Christmas is all about JESUS, so we spent a bit of time on Christmas morning reading through the story of Jesus birth (from a kids picture book) and we prayed together too.

Then they opened a few presents before we went to church.

 Later that day at Oma's, and the next day at Nanna & Grandpa's, and then again today at home they got to open many more presents.  They are very fortunate kids!

Here are a couple of videos of them opening a present from Opa & Mima (thanks Opa & Mima!).
