It was a wonderful day!


Yesterday we celebrated the birth of Jesus! We came downstairs at 7:36AM and joined in a family prayer and opened gifts.
Although there was less to open this year, I cannot remember a Christmas day since our oldest was very little that the kids enjoyed their presents SO much.
Brittney's big gift was a new cell phone and she hugged it all day until she made it to her Grandmother and Grandpa's house and the new pink iPod Chromatic showed up and she told them for over 1 hour plus how much she wanted that and loved it.
Matthew scored with his Star Wars clone helmet and money. He loves getting money so that he can purchase what he wants. It's just to funny.
I was thinking as I listened to Brittney thank her grandparents for the iPod how much we should be thanking God for His gift that was truly priceless. Jesus did not come to this earth in much grandeur but He was the most priceless gift that could be given. We should be thanking God often for the gift that was given to us.
Yes, it was a wonderful day watching the kids receive gifts. But it was also a wonderful day thinking about the gift that I am most thankful for.
