Happy Birthday, Jesus!

This is our second annual "Happy Birthday, Jesus" cake. I hope to make one with the kids every year; it puts the focus of Christmas where it belongs, don't ya think?

decorating it -- the most fun part :)

Happy birthday, Jesus!!!

Christmas Morning

Daddy had the great idea of setting up a few gifts from the night before to "stay" the kids' early-morning gift-opening frenzy.

Christmas Eve

Nana's nativity scene -- a favorite with my kiddos.

I have a thing for beautiful centerpieces. :)

Our Christmas Eve celebration was warm and cozy, a wonderful time filled with Mom's yummy clam chowder, gifts, and fellowship.
