Merry Christmas!!

Merry {belated} Christmas everyone!  We had a sweet day yesterday celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  It was neat getting to see Enoch understand more of why we celebrate this holiday.  Though he does know about snowmen and Santa (mainly by visual recognition since you can't avoid seeing them in stores this time of the year), I loved the fact that our Christmas wasn't focused on any make-believe characters or consumerism.  Instead, Jesus was at the heart of our celebration, which I pray never ceases.

This year to celebrate Christmas we re-enacted the story of Jesus' birth with a toy nativity set, had friends over for lunch, and went to see Christmas lights after dark (though there weren't many around our town to be seen for some reason).  We also talked on the phone to a few friends and family - all of whom we wish could've been here with us. 

Here are Hugh and Enoch singing Happy Birthday God


And a few photos of our Christmas lunch:
