Our Family Christmas

Posted by My Heart Song

Christmas Day. Our family had a very simple, stay-at-home day. The kids played with new toys. I made supper in the crockpot and enjoyed reading a book throughout the day. We looked through old photos and videos of Christmases past (which is always good for some laughs and memories).

My son received a set of Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer - some of his current favorites. 

 My daughter also received some new books, including this one about Secret Codes. 

I gave my husband a new razor.  

My husband gave me a new tablecloth and table pad for our dining room table. He let me open this last weekend, so I could use it when we hosted his extended family for Christmas. The tablecloth is a beautiful burgundy color and fits our table (we didn't have one big enough before).

It was a simple Christmas for us.  

Relatively few gifts. 

Reading the Biblical story of Jesus' birth. 

A few Christmas songs around the piano. 

A quiet day to reflect and enjoy family. 

A simple, beautiful Christmas.
