Week Two Of Christmas

Christmas Eve was spent doing some last minute preparations then heading over to Mom’s for a mini get together.  We had a feast then went to the candlelight service at church.  It was packed and our boys were on the bored side, though the service itself was good.  I think we’ll probably skip that for a few more years.  Afterwards we headed back to Mom’s to open presents.  Tommy took some great pictures of our family, but I’ll have to post those later.  I only have a couple snapshots for now.  I think I’m fried with picture-taking.

We got to spend Christmas day here.  It was nice and relaxing.  We had Christmas morning with just us, then my Dad, Gram, Jesse, and Savannah came over for a way-to-big lunch and Mom joined us after church for present opening.  Sadly Caleb’s family and Denise missed out because of work.

My boys!  I love them like crazy.

 

We didn’t get the boys a whole lot of gifts, mostly books and puzzles, because they really didn’t need much and I knew they’d get lots of gifts elsewhere.  (So many, in fact, that I don’t know where we’ll put them all!)  But we did get Josiah this one special thing… He’s wanted this, a truck and horse trailer, for MONTHS.  We figured any 2 year old that can stay focused on one thing for that long deserves to get it!

The family get together: He’s drenched in sweat because he and Savannah had such a blast playing outside.

I think I spent all of Christmas fetching paper from his mouth.

  Josiah and Elijah got cowboy hats for Christmas!  Oh, and these toys are just a drop in the bucket of what we have.  I think something is going to have to go!
