Happy Birthday Jesus and Jacie

This year not only did we celebrate the coming of Baby Jesus, we celebrated Jacie's sixth birthday. Jesus' party was pretty traditional...red and green decor and a Christmas tree. On the other hand, Jacie's party had an "ocean adventure theme" and she loved it!

 Jacie slamming the candy out of her birthday pinata...this was her first experience with the childhood paradox of being allowed to smack something only to be rewarded with candy and toys. 

Yes, that is a dolphin on her cake.... 

 My brother in law Rob managing Christmas present opening chaos. The kids did great! Excited does not even begin to describe their reaction. 

We could have wrapped up gravel from the driveway and they would have jumped for joy. They were very excited, but very thankful and sweet too. 

I hope you got to see your family for Christmas too!
