How crazy is it to think that the God of the universe came to earth in the person of Jesus as a baby!!!! That is the reason we celebrate Christmas!!!
It was a special Christmas this year as it was Micah's first Christmas! We got to spend lots of time with family and it was a great Christmas.
The ongoing tradition of gingerbread houses continues!!! Micah sure enjoyed eating the graham crackers!!
The pictures don't really do it justice but if you saw them in person it probably wouldn't be too difficult to guess which one I made and which Corey made. Hint: Corey's looks like a 5 year old did it! haha
The Wednesday evening prior to Christmas we headed up to Gull Lake to celebrate with my mom and family. Kolby and Britton were also able to drive over from Lansing so that was fun to see them too! We had a big turkey dinner and then opened gifts.
We spent Christmas Eve my dad and family. We went over to my dad's early in the morning and opened gifts and then my extended family (grandparents, aunt/uncle, cousins) came over for lunch. We had a Christmas Eve service at The Chapel to end the evening.
If you will notice the gift bag one of Corey's gifts was wrapped in. Haha, I think my dad wrapped this one and wasn't paying much attention when he grabbed this bag for Corey!
We spent Christmas morning at our place just the three of us. We opened a few gifts and made breakfast. Micah had fun unwrapping and then attempting to eat the paper.
After his grandpas we went back to Corey's parents and his grandma and Uncle came over to join the celebration.
We are thankful for a great Christmas with lots of food, gifts, and family....but most of all we are thankful God sent his Son as a baby born that we may know Him!
the gingerbread houses look tasty! i couldn't stop laughing at your comment about corey's!! it does look like it came from a kindergarten classroom :)
