The most wonderful time of the year!



It's christmas day! We just pulled into the driveway in valley mills.  And this little nugget-- my Christmas princess- I'm letting her snooze til the conways arrive.  

I also had to give special instructions to make sure Marvin didn't come get her outta the car--- he just peeked out the door at us:0) I know he can barely stand it. Haha.  But we will all be better off if she snoozes a bit.  And by "we" I mean especially jubilee and I.  
We started off the morning having the kids say their bible verses and we read and prayed some. Then the kids opened presents from us

Gabriel got a hoola hoop.. Whoa!!! He's a champ!! I have a video of it.  Jubilee got some hello kitty jewelry that she loves:0)
Aaah.  The simplicity of giving gifts to my babes at this stage in life.  $3.99 for a hoola hoop & target dollar spot jewelry for the miss. 
Then we got dressed and headed over to see Opapa.  It was so blessed and special .  Dad played the guitar and. We sang Christmas hymns. And jubilee requested Jesus loves me.  And then we had Aunt Linda on the phone--- had to sing Elvis' Blue Christmas.  

Oh.  And-- I need some further understanding- but apparently this is some sort of Czech tradition.   It's a manger scene made of cookies With paper faces put on each cookie person.  And-- one looks like the devil? What?! Kinda creepy... It was on the table in the living area at opapa's.
