We celebrated Cassia's first Christmas this year, and gained fresh excitement!
In the morning we started the day by reading from the Bible - remembering what we were celebrating.
Not only did we start some new traditions, but we kept up some from our respective families...
We enacted the 'country of origin' rule (which I made up a few years ago). It states that a present may be opened when it is Christmas in the country the present originated in... or the gift giver lives... or any other stretch which I decide... which means that on Christmas Eve in the US it is already Christmas in Australia, so there is an early present!
We set up our webcam, and had Mum and Dad (Gran and Poppa) set theirs up, and they got to see Cassia open her very first Christmas present - a Fisher Price Zebra.
We also gave Cassia a new pair of PJ's to wear to bed on Christmas Eve, which I think might be a tradition to continue.
In the morning we started the day by reading from the Bible - remembering what we were celebrating. We then shared the excitement of giving and receiving gifts... I received the most awesome gift - a digital SLR camera, from Jason, my parents, and his parents! No more time delay in which I miss the money shot!
After that we went to Jason's parents house, shared in worship, reading from Luke, and communion... and then more presents! We are spoiled!
Cassia got a great piano from them, and she is now all set up next to Daddy's keyboard so she can jam with him. She already has awesome rhythm... although I don't really think I want a drummer in the house!
We went to see a movie in the afternoon (a Wright family tradition), Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler - happy to say it was really funny, and good and clean!
We hope your Christmas was as special as ours, and that you enjoyed the photos... now I have my new camera there is no stopping me!!!

little cassia is way too cute... :) how sweet is the tradition of worship on Christmas? We often have done some Christmas/worship songs on Christmas eve but neglected it this year- It's something I'd like to have as a family tradition though!
