Our Double Blessings plus one more!: Christmas Day

Wow, almost 2 weeks into the new year and I have yet to post about Christmas! We've been busy!

Christmas morning this year was absolutely magical. It was my favorite one with you, yet. This year on Christmas, you were 5 days shy of being 3 years and 3 months old and you understood the concept and enjoyed the season this year so much more than last year (you were 2 years and 3 mo). The reason it was so magical is bc of the fact that you KNEW Santa had come while you were sleeping and brought your presents! The night before we left him cookies and milk and you said you would go right to sleep so he could come! When you woke up (we had to wake you up at 8:15 bc we had to be at Gramma and Grampa's at 10), you could not wait to run to the living room and see if he ate his snack and brought gifts!! Both of your eyes lit up and you were so cute in your jammies with sleepy eyes and bed head. It was the kind of Christmas morning I had always pictured when I dreamed of having kids. It was crazy that it was finally real! You both tore open your gifts and laughed and squealed with excitement! It was so fun and cute! I can't wait til next year bc I know as you grow older, it well be even more fun and more magical. I think next year we'll have to have the whole morning to ourselves though so we aren't rushed and we can just enjoy the morning and take our time celebrating and being together. It's important to start of own traditions and have our own Christmas mornings but we'll still celebrate with other family after! :)

Then, as we always have, we went over to Gramma and Grampa's to do Christmas with them and your Aunts, Uncles and cousins (although no cousins were there this year when we were). You got more presents and we hung out for a while except Daddy couldn't be there. This year Christmas fell on a Sunday so Daddy had to work (Christmas and Easter are the busiest seasons for Pastors!). We def missed him and I'm glad we snapped a family pic before he left.
