Christmas 2010!

Merry Christmas! I know, I know, I am really late but I still wanted to get this posted. We had a wonderful Christmas. The girls got some of what they wanted, but not everything on their list. Who could afford it? They each got an American Girl doll, pillow pets, snuggies, clothes, shoes, stuffed animals, ear muffs, DVDs, board games, WII games, etc... We all got spoiled rotten and had lots of fun! I love Christmas!!!

I am still trying to teach my girls that Christmas is not about what you receive but what you can give. It's a hard one to teach. Every year Matt's entire family picks a family to help for Christmas. We each take one of the kids and buy Christmas for them. I always include my girls in this process and sometimes have them use some of their own money to help buy the gifts. It has been such a touching learning experience for my girls. They have really come to understand that not everyone gets what they get for Christmas. So for us, we will keep this tradition going! It helps to really give us the true Christmas spirit!


MERRY CHRISTMAS 2010!
