happy birthday, Jesus!!!

we celebrated christmas with my family on christmas eve...we had brunch (which was SO delicious), opened presents, sang christmas carols and topped it off with a birthday cake for Jesus! it is complete chaos during the present time. it starts out very organized and then digresses until wrapping paper is everywhere along with parts to toys and i've missed half of it! i love it, though, and find so much joy in being with family. how boring it must have been before the craziness of all our kids...i barely remember now!! thank you, mom and dad, for a wonderful christmas!!!!
