The night before Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas Eve we had in Oxford! We began the day with our annual tradition- one present for each child as soon as they wake up! Then we met Pops at Chick-fil-a for lunch, we shopped for a couple of last minute presents, finished putting together some toys during naptime, then got ready for our amazing dinner cooked and prepared by DeeDee! DeeDee really outdid herself this year- the food was absolutely delicious and we all ate a little more than we should have! We opened presents after dinner, and oh my goodness we were all spoiled rotten this year. We lit candles on a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus before heading to bed so that Santa could come! The only downside to our perfect night came as the kids were going to bed....and Eric ended up catching a stomach bug for the 2nd time in a week!!!! Luckily Scott was here to help me with all the presents and surprises while the children slept- he was a lifesaver! Here is a glimpse into our blessed night filled with family, love, and so much joy. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us so so much this Christmas.
