Since we spend a lot of Christmas day at church or visiting others, we usually celebrate our family Christmas the day before. We had a wonderful day with family and friends (the Gilillands joined us for the morning). We enjoyed an awesome breakfast- eggs, grits, biscuits and BACON (a special, special treat thanks to precooked bacon bought by Margy and Chip). John brought his espresso machine so we also had cappuccinos for breakfast. The boys loved all their toys and spent all day playing. This allowed the adults to play some games as well. It was a nice, restful day. So much fun to spend it with family.
As I watched the kids open their presents I kept thinking about how fun it was just to watch them. I needed nothing but just enjoyed seeing their joy. It reminded me of how the Lord delights in us and wants to give good gifts to His children. 
Working with Grandpa to put together one of the lego sets that they got.
Kenan showing off his Green Lantern game that he had been asking for.
Caroline enjoyed Christmas as well, at least when the house was quiet again.
Thanks to New Hope Alliance Church in Angier, NC for the rocket set; First Alliance, Raleigh for the Wii game; and Friendship Alliance Church in Moultrie, GA for the Wii controller!
