Each year the girls and I make a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, we start our day by singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and then we have cake for breakfast. The girls pick out the cake and plan the design each year...we thought this year was their best yet!
The tree before Santa came... there were even more after his visit!
All loaded up and ready to go eat!!!
We realized after we opened all the presents that we hadn't taken a single picture of the kids opening them!! We got so engulfed in making sure we called family when we opened their presents that we totally forgot the camera!! We celebrated Christmas alone this year...I think for the very first time in our 10 years of marriage. We had a quiet morning at home, then we all loaded up and went to Fort Gordon to eat Christmas dinner at the dining facility. The food was great, and I just really didn't want to cook a huge meal when we had no family here with us. It was a great day, and since it wasn't so hectic we were able to focus a little more on the true meaning of Christmas and not just presents and visiting family.

Love the pictures. I was about to get on you also about not posting any recent pictures! Glad to see that Rai was able to come home for Christmas although I bet it was rough for him to go back. :( We also had birthday cake on Christmas. Hope to talk to you soon.
