While hubby and son have settled in to watch a new movie one of them got for Christmas, I decided to post a few pictures from our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so far.
We topped off our Christmas Eve dinner with some of this delicious Manger Cake. The recipe came from blogging friend Billie Jo on her blog, Afternoon Coffee and Evening Tea. The recipe for this yummy cake is here. It was a hit and we enjoyed more of it after our Christmas morning breakfast!
After Christmas Eve dinner, we settled down for a Christmas Eve movie marathon.
The tree with all of the gifts looked splendid on Christmas Eve.
Josh put out his stocking for Santa.
On Christmas morning, Josh checked out the content of his stocking first thing after getting up. We unwrapped the rest of the gifts after our Christmas breakfast of Amish breakfast casserole and made-from-scratch pancakes.
Josh and Charly try to open a well-taped package sent from Charly's family in Utah. It is a standing joke in our family that Aunt Jacque and Grandma tape packages up so thoroughly that they can't be opened without a lot of effort and several sharp instruments!
Charly models his new new leather jacket - a gift from his sister.

Josh enjoying the spirit of the day.
In our family, we like to give and receive books and movies and here are some of the ones we gave each other this year. We will be enjoying these for months to come!
"...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
