It gets harder and harder to try and get our extended families together for the holidays. So this year was a little different. We got together with Jared's family the weekend before Christmas and with my family the weekend after. So that left Christmas day for just the four of us. Jared and I have never had Christmas day to ourselves....ever. We have always been at one of our parents house or traveling on the day. So I was so excited and was looking forward to making a big meal and just relaxing with my family. It was so fun. We woke up and opened gifts, Jared read the Christmas story, had breakfast, and then the girls and I started in on making Jesus' birthday cake. That was too much fun! I then started on dinner...we had ham, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, marshmallow salad, and birthday cake. It was delicious and I felt very Susie homemaker! So thankful for Jesus and for his sacrifice. It was such a blessing to celebrate Him with my family. Happy Birthday, Jesus!






Our birthday party for Jesus was awesome. The girls picked out what type of cake. Claire was convinced that Jesus would love chocolate cake with chocolate icing and of course, sprinkles. And she would be right!!
(no matter how hard I tried to fix it the first two pics are out of order.uggg)
