Christmas is here!

Can't believe how quickly it came this year! Our tree looked pretty for the first 24 hours after putting it up. After that cats and children have messed with it multiple times and the ornaments are all bunched together *LOL* We decided this year to donate gifts to the Angel Tree ministry at our church in place of giving tons of gifts to our own kiddos. They are already blessed with so much and they really enjoyed picking out things for other kids who may not have as much. I picked kids who were roughly the same age as them so that they could each pick out a toy and outfit. It was really a fun thing to do with them.
My kid's favorite thing to play with each year is the Little People Nativity (thanks Auntie Amanda). As soon as it comes out of the box they play with it. This year the nativity characters even played on some of the Littlest Pet Shop houses *LOL* I usually end up rearranging all the characters on a daily basis and try to keep them all together. We always joke because every year we seem to misplace Baby Jesus and then find him a few months after Christmas. How could we possibly misplace the star of the show?!
I think it's God's reminder to us to keep Christ at the center year round.Here are a few more pics of a couple of my favorite ornaments. Both were on our tree growing up and one was given to me the year I was born. Hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
