Counting our Blessings

1. We spent Christmas as a family and with family.
Snuggles with daddy.
The night before Christmas my sisters and I would open one present: matching PJ's. We would sleep in the jammies and then open presents in them. Jeff and I have carried that tradition on with our girls.

2. We were spoiled to see grandparents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews.
Christmas morning breakfast with my family. We also had a wonderful lunch on Sunday, Dec 27 but I didn't take any pics!!
Looking at the Korean bell with Auntie Audrey.
Piggy back rides.
Reading with Grandpa Roger.
Look at Hannah's face...she is so giddy that Grandpa was swinging with her!

The Murry family was missing the youngest brother Henry who is studying abroad in Egypt. He was able to skype Christmas morning and the day after so at least we were able to see him. :)

4. Kate and Hannah will have two new cousins next year.
Luke (Jeff's middle brother) and his wife Erin will have their first baby this year and is due June 30th. They framed a picture of the ultrasound and gave it to Cindy and Roger for Christmas. It was a very fun way to find out such special news!

My sister is also expecting her second baby and is due July 2.

5. My girls know Santa, but were excited about Jesus.
Walking around an area in Brea, CA where all the houses put up lights and displays. It was so fun!!

Every day I have with my girls I realized just what a blessing they are. They are active girls that can sometimes drive me crazy, but this year the thing that truly warmed my heart was spending time with my girls and seeing them begin to understand the incredible love story of Jesus birth and life. I can't wait to see how they grow over the years.
