We try not to lose focus on the true meaning of Christmas. Alan and I wanted to start some traditions of our own and one of those is baking a cake for Jesus for His birthday. We sang to Him and told the kids (as best we could for their age) what the true meaning of Christmas is. I hope that this is something that we will continue to do for years to come.
We spent our first Christmas as a family of four in our new house and it sure was special. Alan and I decided to open our gifts the night before Santa came so we could actually sit down in peace and enjoy watching one another open presents. It was a sweet time. I think we may have started a tradition!
We loved "playing Santa" and putting out all the toys. Christmas really is just as fun as a parent as it was as a child. Seeing it all again through the eyes of Caroline and John Collins brings such joy. 
Grandmommy and Grandaddy surprised the kids with this fun jump toy! They love it!
Caroline's favorite gift was the Doc McStuffins play set and baby CeCe doll. She had been asking for it for several weeks after seeing it in a toys-r-us magazine. John Collins loved his roller coaster and mickey mouse the most! My favorite gift was my new Marco Bicego necklace and Alan's favorite was a scope for us gun.
