We kicked Christmas off on Christmas Eve by serving our neighbors, listening to Christmas music from sun up till sun down, family fun, and making cookies for Santa. Christmas was awesome this year. It was so fun to start our own family traditions and do our own thing this year. We do miss family, but it was nice to do our own thing. We finished the night off with Luke Chapter 2 and the clay animation movie of Rudolph...it's a must every year

| Mrs. Claus is so funny Christmas Morning Evan has been dealing with Roseola since Wednesday and he hasn't been too happy lately. We actually realized what it was today because he busted out in a rash and he has had nothing but a fever since wed. This morning was no exception to his unhappiness. He wasn't even that into the wrapping paper which isn't like him at all. Poor little guy. He'll have more fun next year anyway. I have a picture frame that says baby's first Christmas so I was trying real hard to get a picture of him with his hat on, but after the 90th picture he made a growl noise and ripped off his hat and threw it on the floor. needless to say that ended the picture taking.....for a while. |

| The First Present! |

| My life rocks because of these two. The end. |
We Love you guys, Merry Christmas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI am sad that your little guy wasn't feeling so great for Christmas but, he won't remember that he didn't feel good so I guess that is good. I have not been very good at blogging lately or checking on other people. I have loved catching up on all that has been happening with you and yours! The cake train was adorable. It's stuff like that Evan will remember even as young as he is because it involves ALL of his little senses! He may not remember the details but he will remember the joy. He is a lucky little boy to have a mom and dad that do so much with him. You will continue to blog after you leave here right? I need to be able to see him get bigger!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!
