Christmas 2009 was a wonderful Christmas. Jackson was 6, Savannah Grace was 4, and Lilly Claire was 20 months. The season was full of the wonder of what Christmas is all about. Savannah Grace still played with and even slept with the baby Jesus' of our nativity scenes. Jackson broke our newest nativity scene by throwing balls constantly around the house. (I'm ok with this...I want him to play!!) Lilly Claire liked to climb under the Christmas trees and eat candy canes thru the wrappers. The first presents under our tree were the ones that Savannah Grace made in the craft room for Jody and I and wrapped herself. They were perfectly cut snow flakes. So much time and detail and thoughtfulness.
We spent the Christmas Eve in Texarkana. We celebrated Christmas with MaMaw and PaPaw Lipscomb on Christmas Eve at noon. That night, we spent it with the Nicklas family. Around 9pm, we headed home...trying to beat Santa. We ran into some bad weather outside of Sherman, but thankfully God and our 4-wheel-drive got us home safe. The kids must have been good, they sure raked it in this Christmas. Jackson got tons of "spy gear" and Savannah Grace got "hair stuff". She had requested play curling iron type items and she got it. Lilly Claire got a kitchen for the playroom and lots of babydoll items.
On Christmas morning, we woke up to a white Christmas. One of my favorite pictures is of the three kids looking out Lilly Claire's window at the snow, before heading down to see what Santa brought. There were a couple of inches of snow on the ground Christmas day! We played and played all day Christmas day and then we read the Christmas story and opened family gifts that evening. The next day we headed back to Texarkana for Christmas at Googie and Pappy's and then Christmas at MeeMaw Gass' house. We are so blessed with such a large and loving family to spend the holidays with!
