Christmas '08





We started Christmas out with Joshua waiting up for Santa. He decided he wasn't going to go to bed from 3:30am to after 6:00am. Once we finally got him to sleep, Noah woke up around 6:45am very ready to open presents. He was so excited to see that Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the Diet Coke that he left out for him. Santa left him a bell on the plate. (Reference "The Polar Express") He opened his gifts and started playing with them immediately. We went to my brother and sister-in-law's (Jon and Jené) house for lunch. It was so nice to have my parents and Grammy and her new husband, Glenn, there also. The kids played and we had a really nice time there. The best part was initiating Glenn into our family tradition of "dollar gifts." This is so much fun for us as a family. Over all, we had a really good day and I think Joshua had a fabulous "first Christmas". We are gearing up for the new year. We are so thankful and blessed for everything this year. We love y'all and wish you the happiest of New Years. We pray that you are richly blessed. Thank you Lord for your many gifts and especially for the blessing of Joshua.
