So lift up your voice and sing out His praise. It's Christmas! Born is the King, rejoice in the day. It's Christmas! Lift a joyful sound. It's Christmas! Let His praise ring out.....
I know, I know....Christmas is over, but I can't get this song out of my head (we sang it for our church Christmas choir program). If you haven't heard the Hillsong version, don't look it up! You'll be humming, dancing, and singing to it ALL day long! Ha! At least Jason, Ansley and I all have been!
We had a wonderful Christmas full of lots of fun activities and I thought I would post some of the pics from what feels like a week long celebration. :)
Disclaimer: Lots of pictures to follow!!
Christmas this year started at the cabin. We celebrated my dad's birthday (and Jesus' birthday) on Saturday....a little early, but so nice to have it before the Christmas day rush. It was a 2'fer kind of night ;). We ate some delicious steaks made by the cutest and best steak maker this side of the Mississippi. Ha! No seriously, he can make a mean steak (I know I've mentioned this before)! We then opened presents and Laura made a cake for my dad's birthday. It was so yummy.
How cute are these two rugrats?! Dress half up, one sock off, and the binkie on the floor!
This cracks me up! Jansen buried himself in the presents.
Jason was shaking the salad and doing a jig :)
Happy Birthday Dad!
Present time!
Charli got an arrary of unicorn presents....a pillowpet was one of them. She was pretty happy about that.
Then....on to our little Christmas.
At our house, Santa left a letter for the girls, drank most of his milk, and ate both cookies! He was a hungry Santa!
Ansley was happy that he stopped by! The note was absolutely precious (written by Jason)
One of my favorites.
Christmas morning was really nice. We ate pluckett cake, listened to the Word of Promise (best story bible cd), and then headed to GG's clubhouse for lunch.
Ansley "reading" us the story of the birth of Christ at the clubhouse.
And so excited to get this present!
All the girls on the Hawn side
GG and Charli were having a moment
After lunch at GG's clubhouse, we trekked to Marble Hill for more family and fun. Charli got lots of attention!
We tried to get a tree picture of the kiddos. Didn't really happen.
The cousins!
One proud momma
My mom and pops with the girls
And Miss Priss loves this cowhide chair that Jason and I brought back from Brazil when we were on a mission trip there. I love the leg cross.
On to Pamaw's house on Wednesday. Whew! Christmas is so fun, but can be a bit exhausting after all the running around! Guess who read us the story again?? Preciou
Brynn did too :)
Pappaw actually read from the Bible :)
And then we had prayer time
On to the presents! Charli did so good tearing them up!
Ansley was wanting these princesses sooo bad!
And Charli ate some more paper.
Christmas was so exciting this year because we had Ansley who couldn't wait to tell about the birth of Christ at every stop, she let out bursts of excitement when opening every single present, and her questions about Santa were so humorous. Not to mention, Charli, who was as cute as a button with the wrapping paper and her little prizes were perfect for her. It was a busy, but joyous Christmas and we're loving this season of life!
