Posted in The life and times of my family

Most years dh and I are unable to give our dc very much for Christmas.  We stuff their stockings and sometimes I make then something but we have never been able to do much more then that.  In spite of that, there are always tons of gifts under the tree.  Each year I take a photo as a testimony of God's provision for my dc.  He is so generous through His people in providing above and beyond the things they need.  He blesses them with things they want too.  This year they received gifts from "Jesus" (members of our church), the youth minister and generous members of an online group I'm in.  They also each received a gift card and a small gift from my mom, sisters and bils.  Here's a photo of the bounty under the tree, none of which was purchased by dh and I.  Btw, the build a bear box is actually a gift from my 10 yr. old to her 3 yr. old sister!  The 3 yr. old is the only child in the family who doesn't have a build a bear.  My 10 yr. old ended up with more then one so she blessed her little sister.  She even included an outfit.  They were all so thrilled and thankful for each gift.
