Christmas at Home and More Fun!

Christmas at Home and more fun!

On Christmas morning John and I went in to wake Samuel up, which I'm sure is just one of the few years we have to actually wake him up for Christmas morning. As usual he was such a happy baby in the morning. We took him to the living room and he opened a few presents from Santa and a few from Mom and Dad. Then we all opened our stockings. It was such a special time together. Sam was so happy about every present except the pajama's. However, Santa somehow knew that Sam's toes were pushing there way through most of his current PJ's so Mommy was thankful for them.
Afterward we got ready and went over to Grandmothers again to open stockings that Santa left for us there. We ate the traditional Sherrer Christmas breakfast of cinnamon rolls, bacon and breakfast casserole. Before the morning was over we headed to Burns Flat again just to relax and be with family for the day. While we drove out their Samuel got to be a part of our traditional reading of the Christmas Story from the Bible. We all learned something new about the wonderful birth of our Savior. The Chaos of Christmas can often help us forget what we are really celebrating, but every year John and I read that story and we reflect on how marvelous our God is. Now with our own son we have a deeper understanding of how hard it would be to send him to a place where you knew he'd endure pain. That's how much God loves us...too much to comprehend!
