Now before any of you panic because you realized that you missed three days of gripping Christmas activities and photos, rest assured, there was nothing happening other than traveling home (day 4), and prepping for our own celebration (days 5 & 6). On our Christmas morning we began our celebration by sitting down and enjoying a delicious breakfast of Hungarian coffee cake followed by the reading of the Christmas story. Well, I should say it was more of a paraphrased narrative since Beniah is 3 and his mind has a hard time grasping phrases such as, "In those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed."

I have to say that the way Tim narrated the story brought tears to my eyes as he talked about how much God loved His Son which caused me to think about this deep Father's love that God had for Jesus. Yet He sent Jesus down to this earth for the purpose of conquering sin and death so that I can stand before God holy and blameless. It astounds me at times probably not as often as it should.
Bam! You've been accidentally rabbit trailed. Back to our celebration.

| It's books that Beniah picked out because one has an owl and the other is yellow. |

The day held more playtime
and was concluded by homemade Chinese dinner and family Wii.
And we had a very merry Christmas indeed!
