back to christmas :)

the morning of christmas eve we had a family breakfast and jesse tree devotional.





then the girls got to open their ornament for this year and hang it on our tree.


they each got a sparkly star from pottery barn kids to remind us of all of the story times we went to this year.


after our sweet little family time we headed over to my grandma knierim's house for a second breakfast of biscuits and gravy.


grandma let the girls open a present from her. she recorded herself reading the christmas story to them in a very special hallmark book. we were all in tears.

it was such a special moment.


we have such neat gg's! i'm so thankful the girls have this special book to listen to every christmas.
