Merry Christmas, my sweet angels. What a heavenly Christmas. There really aren't words for how much I enjoyed our Christmas together this year. The Christmas season, particularly in light of tragedy endured in other parts of our country, begged me to hug on my babies and love on them so much that there was no other focus in our lives. Our family is the only things that matters. Period. Thank you God for this gift of family.
Our kids are such a fun age for Christmas. They enjoy all of the traditions, squeal with excitement and believe with all of their little hearts that Santa will know exactly what to deliver to them on Christmas morning. I know that this won't last forever and I want to soak up every minute of it.
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and now it is time for a long winter's nap . . . .
Of course, our Drew Bear is the early riser and the first one down the stairs to report on his findings! Santa was here!
Let's go wake up everyone else!
My morning coffee and the magic of Christmas. This is definitely my happy place.
The boys gifted us with thoughtful and heartfelt homemade gifts from school. I adore these.
This one is from Drew (in case you couldn't read his gift tag:)
A handmade calendar with his handprints for each month! So creative and thoughtful! Dan and I will fight over who gets to take it to work. I'll win.
Our "little bits" (a.k.a Evan) is generally up to no good, but is so unbelievably cute that he gets by with a lot (he is sooooo lucky that he has this compensating trait). "Evan - what are you doing climbing in the refrigerator?"
When we weren't preparing for our two birthday parties (or playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii), this is how we spent the week of Christmas. Snuggled up in the living room. LOVE IT!
Drew has declared himself as the "Lego King." Between Christmas and his birthday, he was the lucky recipient of A LOT of legos. A LOT. Immediately after Drew has the legos unwrapped, he wants to put them together. And his attention to detail on these legos is amazing. He will sit at the table and focus on the assembly without moving until the entire set is complete. Not sure where he gets this skill from . . . . check out his handiwork from the past week.
