Christmas morning started with a candlelight breakfast of biscuits, bacon, and eggs, all a special special treat.
After breakfast we spent a while in worship of the newborn king, we sang songs, read from Luke 2, prayed and thanked God for sending His Son. This was a sweet time.
Next, we distracted Sophia by letting her help me wash the dishes. David, meanwhile set up the girls' gift in their bedroom. We got them the Ikea Kid's kitchen. We ordered this off of TaoBao (Chinese Amazon), I was going to have one made but it cost twice as much and definitely would have been less quality. We were very impressed with the quality and look. David put it all together a few days prior. The shipping (and it was heavy), was less than ten dollars! We do not regret this decision.
Sophia was very surprised. Bella took it all in stride (in fact she had seen daddy put it together).
we set up the flip video to catch her response.
looking back at me with a pleased grin.
Joy Joy.
like every proper lady in the kitchen she dons new earrings (clip-ons), and a big ring (gifts from Poppy and CC)
These matching aprons came from Aunt Julie and crew for the girls' birthdays, so precious.
Our Christmas was wonderful: simple, worshipful, and fun.
