Facebook Leighann Floyd Barbee: "The spirit of Christmas needs to be superseded by the Spirit of Christ. The spirit of Christmas is annual; the Spirit of Christ is eternal. The spirit of Christmas is sentimental; the Spirit of Christ is supernatural. The spirit of Christmas is a human product; the Spirit of Christ is a divine person. That makes all the difference in the world. Stuart Briscoe"

Christmas Morning

"Bones" woke up to a stocking in his room, and immediately found a train. We were playing with it when Millie Grace woke up. He immediately went to his tricycle and he didn't catch on to unwrapping the gifts at first, but he caught on. He loved "Chuck the truck" it has been a real big hit and of course he got his first cap gun, just imagine this scene in your mind, Jason trying to teach gun safety to a 20 month old, and "Bones" now uses his cap gun as a hammer, but at least he isn't pointing it at anyone. :o)

Christmas Morning

Millie Grace woke up excited to just find her stocking in her bedroom. Her Daddy told her that's not all let's go to the Christmas tree. She couldn't believe all that Santa had left for her. We have a tradition where "Santa" brings the children 3 gifts because that is what the wisemen brought to Baby Jesus. Mommy and Daddy buy a few as well..........

Here comes Santa Claus!

Right before Mommy and Daddy went to bed on Christmas Eve Night

Millie Grace said, "We need to leave both white and chocolate milk for Santa, he needs some for his elves."

This is the letter that "Santa" leaves every year.
We don't have a problem with Millie Grace & Bones believing in Santa, as long as they realize that Santa
believes in Jesus, and that Jesus is the real reason for Christmas
.

Mommy & Daddy's Christmas gifts

This is Jason's Christmas gift from "Bones" and Millie Grace. Levi's hand is a deer on the mug
and Millie Grace made an angel out of her fingerprints for the coaster.

On my irish coffee mug is "Bones" thumbprint as a pea and smaller fingerprints
as other peas on the mug.

Barbee Family Christmas Eve 2009

Every year on Christmas Eve the Barbee Family gets together, all 13 of us, the children actually outnumber the adults, so we are lucky to make it out all in one piece. We get together with Jason's sister, Julie and her husband Trevor and their children, Heather, who is such a sweetheart and a really big help with the little ones, Ryan who they tell us is very rowdy but is always such a polite and sweet young man, Blake, who simply adores "Bones" (the feeling is mutual); Madison, who is quiet and likes to play by herself;, Annsley who is the same age as Millie Grace, so yeah, 2 four year olds in the same house with gifts and grandparents equals LOUD LOUD LOUD! Jason's mama and daddy, who are the best in-laws God created. They love us all like they are our mama and daddy and absolutely love and adore each one of their grandchildren to the moon and back. We end the night with filet mignon and baked potatoes the soze of footballs and salad, yeast rolls, and like 5 different desserts. I really look forward that every year. I am so blessed to call each one of these sweet people family.

P.S. you may remember on 3 days before Thanksgiving I had to have some emergency dental work done. Well 5 days before Christmas Eve I had to have emergency dental surgery 3 wisdom teeth, plus one molar removed. :o)
