Christmas here

December 26, 2010 by Kristin Leave a Comment

We simplified Christmas at home this year. It seemed to help keep joy in the season.

I have a son who likes to put things in his mouth and try to climb, so I put up a 4-foot tree on a table in our living room. It worked well this year. I still have my taller artificial tree that will make an appearance in future years.

We buy each of the kids one main present and then some stocking stuffers. We’re blessed with extended families that love our kids, and part of how they show that is buying them gifts. They do such a good job that we just pick out something we know the kids will love and give them that. Ben had a few things we brought home from Louisville still to open because he went to sleep before we finished opening gifts there.

Ben got a Jump-o-Lene, which he discovered at a friend’s house several weeks ago. When I saw him in it there, I knew what I wanted to get him for Christmas.

See, he really loves it, despite what it does to his hair, which, yes, needs to be cut.

We gave Cate a Tiana dress [and shoes, of course!] so she can dress up like a princess.

    I love Ben's hair!
    I also love the simplicity of Christmas

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and love sharing with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our fifth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear second-grade boy, and our joy-filled toddler girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.
