However, as I read through everyone's Facebook posts or email updates it saddens me that the focal point of Christmas for most has changed to the material side of things. I realize this has been a long time coming between the "Black Friday" deals slowly creeping earlier each year and the new wave of technology that has everyone mesmerized. Nevertheless, I keep reading posts about how good the kids made out with their presents and how fun the new video game system is and it's a good thing their kids have all their new toys since they aren't feeling well, etc etc. Very few people said anything about Jesus' birthday and the real reason for Christmas. The whole point of my little rant is that I couldn't wait to post pictures from our Christmas celebrations until I realized that most of them involved opening presents. We have worked very hard for our kids to enjoy the hope and wonder of Santa and Christmas while also knowing that Jesus is the real reason for the season. Therefore, I do not want to fit into that mold that so many have fallen into. I have posted a few pictures below for all of you, but also limited them as to not fit into the commercial aspect of "Presents, presents, presents!"
We hope everyone's Christmas was wonderful!!
M & M's!

looks like Uncle Jarrod in this picture!
I'm ready to say something...
Yuck, bugs!
