The past couple of years Christian and I have spent Christmas as just the two of us, celebrating at our house in the midst of Lauffer and Ford side celebrations. Although the first year I felt slightly saddened by Christmas being just us two, I am now a little excited about the tradition we are beginning. I figure as we (hopefully) continue to have children and they grow older, it will be fun to be in our own home on Christmas morning and celebrate as our family.
"I'm so excited!"
"I will conquer you wrapping paper!"
Micah's so fast and strong, he's tearing the tissue paper in two and the camera can't capture it quick enough:)
Perfect little present?? How about fussy little present:)
But that's just because he was tired. Very long morning - time for a nap!
Up from my nap and ready to go for more.
Now it's time for Micah Santa!
The ornaments are much more exciting than the camera.
Unwrapping his present from Mommy and Daddy.
Playing amidst all the tissue and toys.
"What a fun day Momma!"
As you can see, today was our first taste of our family celebration - and although Micah knows nothing about the meaning/significance of today, he did love sitting in the middle of tissue paper and wrapping paper and bows. Such simple things for a child.
It has also become a tradition for Christian to make crab cakes on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and while that isn't your typical ham or turkey, we love it and they are soooo yummy! Unfortunately as the day progressed Micah got fussy and sick (we think due to his constant teething) and Christian started to feel feverish and nauseous...so the day ended early with everyone in bed. Overall, we had a wonderful day of family time and remembering the birth of our Savior. Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful gift.
I can't wait to see my lil' Santa!
