It's Finally Here! Christmas 2011!

Christmas morning came early at the Kidd house (as well it should- Christmas is NOT a day for sleeping in!).  We were all up and ready to go by 7.  

Kate got a new baby doll from Santa this year.  The baby has a magnet in her mouth so her binky and her bottle stay put.  Kate loved it!  She spent all morning lugging "baby" around trying to feed her and rock her to sleep.

 The boys did indeed get their StarWars space ship, along with an AT-AT walker (or a poo-pooer in layman's terms) and a snow speeder.  I'm a little embarrassed that I know exactly what each one of those are- but I would be a bad mom if I didn't have a working knowledge of what my kids know and love.  They were sooo excited!

 Cousin Deja got a small 4 wheeler that both of the girls liked to sit in.  It was cute!

 And Christmas fell on a Sunday this year- which I LOVE!  I love having the morning with your family and then the afternoon in worship.  I love that you are almost instantly reminded of what the season is about and why we celebrate Christmas.  I am so grateful for my family and the chance that I have to live with them forever.  I am so grateful for my Saviour, and for the fact that He made it possible for us always to be together.  I know that He is always watching out for us and that He loves us.
