Christmas morning 2011

Christmas this year was so much fun!  Karissa was old enough to get into and and both the kids got so excited!  It was a very busy day with having the gifts to open, make breakfast, get ready and be at church at 10 am.  I will be honest and say that having Christmas fall on a Sunday is not the most ideal of days, especially with little kids.  Having to wake up Karissa to start Christmas (she woke up a bit grumpy), then with all the candy she consumed and the excitement of it all, she was not very pleasant to deal with during the hour church meeting.  By the time we got home we gave her some real food and put her down for a nap...AHHHH, all was finally peaceful in the Bailey home.  Thankfully she woke up happier!  All in all it really was a wonderful Christmas and having Jeremy and Megan here to share the day was perfect! We all had fun giving our gifts and playing with our new toys.   
Most importantly though, we have been so blessed and are truly grateful for Christ's birth , His life and His atonement for us!  There really is no greater gift!
