We had Christmas this year in our new home - actually, our first real home, since we own it! We got a Christmas tree (a great deal) from a lot down the street (Steve carried it home), put up the lights, trimmed the tree, and all the rest of the little decorations somehow went up as well.Steve took a couple days off of work, so he had about a week-and-a-half total to spend time with the family! The kids loved having daddy home...
as did Candi, and Daddy loved being home too!
Christmas Eve officially started with the reading of Luke 2,performed via flannel board by Josie and Ben.
Jackson put his time to good use by exploring where dinner had previously taken place.
After unwrapping some gifts from cousins and Grandparents things got a little bit wild!
Christmas Morning was a blast! It is so fun with your own kids! Josie was so excited that Santa fulfilled his promise of bringing her a dolly. (She didn't like it at first, but after a few days "Lucy" began to grow on her! Thank goodness!)
She took a great liking to her Unicorn and carries it with her where ever she goes! Unfortunately it has become the new weapon of choice when attacking Jackson. She holds it by the horn and uses it like a whip. Don't let that angel face fool you. . .
Josie left her presents behind when she started playing with this toy! She went off on her own, didn't want to open any more presents and had fun learning her letters and phonics skills.
Jackson proudly displays his new jammies! Santa knew exactly whathe wanted (needed) for Christmas!
Here is Jackson, king of the present!
We had a really fun holiday being together as a family and with friends!
We hope yours was wonderful too!

I can't believe how Jackson doesn't look like a baby anymore. When they start cruising and stuff they seem to age months. It looks like you had a fun Christmas. I am glad to finally see more pictures. I love the snow duck, I have never even thought to make something else. Maybe next time we will have to make something more exciting than a snowman, it is hard to get the head on anyway. Looks like you have a nice size backyard, which i am sure is nice. Talk to you later.
Hi! You guys are too cute! I love the pictures and the animals. I hope you are doing well - miss you.
We sure missed getting to spend Christmas with you but loved getting to hear a bit more about it through your blog - thanks for doing it!
