Merry Christmas!!!


"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6

We had a wonderful Christmas this year despite all of our colds! Parker was so much fun anticipating Santa and his excitement about celebrating baby Jesus' birthday! I love how each year he is more and more aware of what Christmas is all about. This year he was able to understand a lot more about baby Jesus and that Christmas is His birthday and that that's why we really celebrate Christmas. For several days before Christmas he used all types of different toys to make "cakes" for baby Jesus! It was so sweet! When we'd ride around looking at Christmas lights he'd see a manager scene and yell out "THERE'S BABY JESUS"! Although Carter didn't know what was going on, he had a great time playing with all the new toys Santa brought. We also went to see Santa at the mall and while Parker lost it and hid behind me and cried the entire time (I wish I could have gotten a picture of that), Carter sat in his lap and gave us a cute little smile for his picture! I have a feeling Carter will always be up for seeing Santa...Parker on the other hand may never!

Anyways, here are some pictures of the boys with there new toys on Christmas morning! Thank you to Gigi, Nana, Papa, Poppie and Grammie for all the wonderful gifts! The boys loved all of them!







Parker showing us that Santa brought him Lightning McQueen. It was the only thing he'd said he wanted from Santa this year.



He was so amazed that Santa ate the cookies he'd left him on the hearth the night before!
