Christmas morning.

 Kerri reading the note Santa left her, thanking her for the milk and cookies.

 Pookie yawning, because Kerri woke us up way too early!

 Kerri excited to see the gifts under the tree.

 The girls, in their jammies.

Part of the aftermath....you should have seen the floor!

Life with Kerri hopes your Christmas holiday was as wonderful as ours.

Merry Christmas!

This night a wondrous revelation
Makes known to me God's love and grace;

The Child that merits adoration

Brings light to our benighted race;

And though a thousand suns did shine,

Still brighter were that Light divine.

The Sun of Grace for thee is beaming;

Rejoice, my soul, in Jesus' birth!
The light from yonder manger streaming

Sends forth its rays o'er all the earth.

It drives the night of sin away

And turns our darkness into day.

O Jesus, precious Sun of gladness,

Fill Thou my soul with light, I pray.

Dispel the gloomy night of sadness

And teach Thou me this Christmas Day

How I a child of light may be,

Aglow with light that comes from Thee.
