Christmas!

We had a great Christmas at home! This is the 1st Christmas that we were either not hosting family or not traveling to visit family in years! Shayna was home with us and we had a really great, mellow day...although we missed being with our families! We love you guys! :)
We really enjoyed the peace that only Christmas time can bring...Zach slept most of the day but was up LATE Christmas night. So Gary, me and Zach came out to the family room and only turned on the tree lights...the peace and warmth of the season is unmatchable! There is something magical in the air...we talked about how Mary and Joseph were up all night with Jesus as we have been with Zach...and what that would of been like for them...to know they were caring for the king of the world. And that they had him for the time being all to themselves in the quite (when he wasn't crying of course) of the night....
So we added a few things to our Christmas tradition this year. Makenzie and Zach bought Daddy a snow cone machine and we ate snow cones Christmas morning! That will definitely be a ritual! Daddy was in heaven! Gary LOVES cherry snow cones!
Makenzie got a bounce house! She LOVES it! It is perfect for her playroom on cold and rainy days and during the summer we can put it up outside.
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy the pics...
The joy and excitement on her face is so precious!
