The only thing Andrew asked Santa for this year was a blue bicycle. And Santa was more than happy to oblidge. He left a few extra goodies for him, and set Megan up with quite a few new toys, too. The kids had a great time on Christmas morning. Their true personalites really came out. Megan jumped in head first while Andrew waited for us to tell him it was okay.
We had heard rumors all week that we might have a white Christmas and sure enough, when we woke up there was snow on the ground. And though I'm not always the biggest fan of snow, it was a nice surprise. We spend the day nice and warm in our house surrounded by lots of new things to play with and do. And we enjoyed the day at home with our kids more than we could have ever imagined!
And I know I've mentioned Santa quite a bit in my posts, but we've talked a lot about the true meaning of Christmas too. Andrew very much thought I should plan a birthday party for Jesus, so I think he understands that Christmas day is not all about toys and Santa, but about the birth of Jesus Christ, too. We'll always remember the true meaning of Christmas in our home and as our kids get older, we may just have a little birthday party too.
