We had a wonderful Christmas! This year we decided to stay home and start our own Christmas traditions instead of going up to Auburn like we have been. We wanted to make sure that the true reason for Christmas wasn't lost in all the Santa and toys hoopla so Parker and I read about the miracle of Christ's birth and Christmas morning we put a candle in his cinnamon roll and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. Although he's still a little too young to fully understand everything, I'm so glad we started these traditions so once he is old enough he will know the importance of Christmas! One tradition my family had that I always loved was driving around on Christmas Eve to look at the Christmas lights so Wed. evening we drove through Mid town and some really nice neighborhoods in Mobile and saw some beautiful lights! Parker seemed to really like looking at the lights especailly the yards that had lots of lights and santa figures.
Because we didn't go home this year, all our family came to us! My mom was here first through Christmas and then Bobby's parents came down and lastly my dad came to stay. Parker had a great time with each of them and has been asking where everyone went since they all left. I think he really misses his grandparents!
This year he was so excited about opening his presents! He would open one and then start playing with whatever it was and forget all about the others. By the end we were having to beg him to put down the toys and finish opening his gifts! Here are some pictures of Parker opening his toys Christmas morning.
I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday season this year!!!
