Christmas 2010

Our Christmas this year was so much fun. We spent a lot time with family and ate a lot of food. On Thursday night we started a new tradition and had a birthday party for Jesus. Basically we ate cake, sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and read the nativity story.

On Christmas eve morning we celebrated Christmas with just our family. We opened presents and had a big breakfast.

Jackson still does not understand Christmas, but loves all the attention that he gets.

This year, Annika was so excited for Christmas. She woke me up at 5:30am to see if it was time to get up yet.

Next, we went to visit my Grandma Berghorst for the afternoon then headed to my parents for Christmas Eve.

It gets a little crazy with so many little kids running around, but it is so much fun!

Later that afternoon we went to the Keen Christmas Party (Eric's grandparents & extended family)

Annika was suppose to wear her Christmas dress, but I could not get her to take off her princess gown that she got from her cousins Graysen and Max.

Great Grandpa Keen and Jackson
We had a very busy Christmas, but we feel so very blessed to be able to spend it with family and friends. And most of all thank you God for the gift of your precious Son!
