We had a wonderful Christmas! One of the doctors that work with Ben let him off a little early so he could spend Christmas morning with us. Ben was working the night shift. I thought that was so nice!
Here is what our Christmas tree looked like before the mad rush.
One of our traditions every year is that on Christmas Eve, all of the kids sleep in one room. They always look forward to this. We usually pick the room that is the farthest away from the Christmas tree. And that room just happened to be Devin and Ashton's room. All the other kids brought in sleeping bags, pillows and blankets.
Before anyone can go into the front room to even look at the Christmas tree, we have to eat breakfast. I bring the food into the bedroom. We always have the same thing: deviled eggs, oranges and cinnamon rolls.
Right before we started to eat, we said a prayer that Ben would get off work quickly so he could join us. Not even one minute later, Ben called and told us he was coming home early. It was our Christmas miracle and direct answer to our prayers. Such a little thing, but so important to us. Our Heavenly Father is mindful of us and does answer our prayers.
