Christmas!

This Christmas will go down in our family's history as the BEST Christmas ever! (well, until next year anyway!) Christmas morning was like a scene out of a movie. Avery woke up at 5:45 (yes, 5:45) and came running into our room, then back to the living room and back to our room again screaming "Santa came, Santa came!" Instead of trying to contain her we decided we were going to have to wake Garner up because Avery was going to explode if she didn't get to open presents VERY soon. Fortunately, during all the commotion, he woke up on his own and was not very happy until Avery ran in his room screaming "Santa came Garner! He brought us presents!" He then realized what was going on and they ran to the tree together and the looks on their faces can only be captured in my heart because a picture would not do it justice:) After opening their presents we played for awhile, I cooked a big breakfast and started preparing the food I was taking to my moms and Chase cooked the turkey on The Egg:). We went to my moms and hung out with family for the afternoon and then came home. It was simple. It was fun. It was perfect. I'm thankful for Jesus' birth for so many reasons but the joy it brings is indescribable!
