Disney for Christmas!

We have always had a big Christmas. Lots and lots of presents, considering all of our immediate family lives close by. In fact, we used to do what a lot of people do-clean out the toy bins before Christmas to get ready for more! So, this is NOT what Christmas is about! This year, we wanted to focus on HIS birth and quality time with each other. We attended a wonderful Christmas eve service and sung our favorite Christmas hymms, listened to the Christmas story, and held candles to remind us of the single star that shown over Bethlehem when Jesus was born. The next day, the kids opened presents from Santa, and then a letter from James and I. We had told them that we were going on a trip that week, but they didn't know where. They opened up the card and were so excited to see a picture of Mickey Mouse! It was very crowded, but the weather was beautiful. We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom (my favorite), and the new Legoland! Definitely a Christmas to remember..for all of the right reasons!
