Christmas 2011...

Thought I'd put up a few little snapshots of our Christmas this past year. :) We spent it at home with just the 5 of us, and it was a fabulously fun and relaxing day! I love spending Christmas at home without having to rush & run & pack & travel every year...so here's a little taste of it:

Emily...and our Christmas tree. :)

Our birthday cake for Jesus! (It was a "special" cake this year - frozen homemade yogurt with a little bit of pumpkin, honey & cinnamon...to suit the GAPS diet we're on...but the kids LOVED it! Of course, we blew out candles & sang happy birthday to Jesus too!)

Stockings...mostly filled with goodies from garage sales or the thrift store! :) These little offerings are often more special than the ones that are brand new!

The big gift this year - a new, deluxe Little Tikes kitchen! (but here's a secret...I received it as a free product to review on my other blog...so it truly was a blessing to be able to give this to our kids!)

Jenna...she just loves to unwrap gifts! Guess she sees big bro & sister's excitement and knows that there must be something fun inside!

Tate...unwrapping his Christmas gift from Emily (which she lovingly chose and bought for him with her own money at the thrift store :) )
