Christmas

Because I had to work this Christmas weekend, we stayed home and had Christmas-just our little family.

We did go to church for Christmas Eve service and then over to friends for a little dinner party!

Pure excitement! He didn’t know what to do at first. besides a couple of circles. Between all the cool toys and the fire he was a happy boy! We took him to the kitchen to eat breakfast without letting him see that Santa came!
