Our Christmas

We celebrated Christmas together as a family a little late this year.  It was the Hollon’s turn to spend Christmas in Lubbock….so we celebrated on December 30th and continued the celebration right on into the New Year!

Reading the Christmas story from the Bible and remembering Jesus’ birth.

Shooting limes from Steve’s “potato gun”.  The kids enjoy this.

Wearing our matching pajamas all day long. 

The evening meal is always homemade lasagna, garlic bread, salad and cookies and candies too numerous to mention.  We missed Andrew and Mark that day as Andrew recovered from an ear infection.  So thankful they were able to come the next day to celebrate Steve’s birthday.

  1. Oooh! The cinnamon rolls look tasty. You have a terrific family tradition, Jana! I like the idea of wearing pajamas out celebrating your Christmas. =D My wife adores her pajamas so much, and I think this kind of celebration would give her the chance to flaunt them to the entire family. LOL!
