Mt attempt at getting a picture of the kids in front of the tree...can you tell it "worked" really well?
Here are the kids Christmas eve in their new Christmas jammies. They get to open one gift on Christmas eve, which is always jammies. They were so excited...well Jackson was...Walker doesn't quite get it yet and Lila, well she just goes with what ever!
Lila just being her happy self!
We decided to let the kids sleep in their tent in our room on Christmas eve. So here is Kal all finished setting up the tent. I put the pictures in the wrong order so you will have to look backwards.
Walker still trying to help
"Helping" 
Notice Kal's Face as Walker is being oh so "Helpful"
Lila Christmas Morning...Jackson was up at 3:30am....Not sure that she appreciated being woken up so early...I would have left her sleeping, only Jackson turned on the lights in our room and woke her up.

Walker with his baby jaguar and "bup"He is saying Merry Christmas, if you could actually understand him.
I made Homemade buns for dinner. As usual I made way more than we needed, especially since really only Kal and I ate... the boys sort of ate. But it was all delicious and who does not like having Christmas dinner left overs for the next 2 weeks!
And of course my turkey. I cooked it in my electric roaster my mom got me a couple years ago for Christmas. I love this roaster. It frees up my oven to make buns and stuffing and pies. It also cooks quickly and it does not dry out the meat at all!

So our little famliy stayed in the Loops and had a perfectly lovely quiet Christmas together. It was wonderful and so much fun. I am so truly blessed to have 3 completely wonderful children and a devoted and loving husband.
I am grateful for my Saviour, for his life and the gift of the Atonement and for the opportunity I have to return again to my Father in Heaven because of him.

This is of course the real meaning of CHRISTmas.
