Christmas at Lakeland

A REAL Christmas tree

Merry Christmas! We Hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Our Christmas was different but really fun. We went to Lakeland to see our relatives (dad's brother's family). We left on Christmas Eve and spent the night at their house. We had fun opening our stockings, making our own pizza for dinner, decorating Christmas cookies, playing with our cousins (we have six cousins), and going to bed late. In the morning it was Christmas! We got up early to help Aunt Michelle and Ashly as they were preparing food for lunch. The food was sooo delicious. Aunt Michelle and Ashly are really good cooks. We ate when Grandma and Grandpacame over, and then we opened the presents and watched everybody else open theirs. We played with our cousins for a little while and then went home. When we got home we unpacked and sat down on the coach and had our family devotions, we go over this book called "Christ in Christmas" that is our tradition every year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus. We sang Christmas songs and prayed, then we opened our presents, we left them home so we could do there. We all had a fun time this different but fun Christmas. We hope you all did too. Here are some pictures of us with our family on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
