Christmas

Every Christmas I am reminded of just how blessed we are as a family. I love spending the holidays with family and friends, I love focusing on the precious gift of our Lord and Savior, and I love the sparkle in my children's eyes as we play and laugh together. Here are a few snapshots of our time together during Christmas.
This is our family picture on Christmas Eve as we got ready to go to the Candle Light Service.

Elijah and his friend Evelyn holding their candles for our Christmas Eve service at church

 Elijah was very fascinated with the light but was also okay with blowing it out after a couple minutes. I suppose the "pyro" gene that most boys seem to possess kicks in at a later age ;-)

 Jumping for joy while sporting his new Christmas pajamas (Angry Birds in Space are his favorite)

 Playing with his toys alongside daddy (I just love watching them be creative...they have such great imaginations).

 Gotta love the Buzz

 My happy baby girl in new clothes from Grandma Lupe and wearing a tutu from Grandma Dorothy (not shown in this picture but she got a blanket from her Grandma Glenda which was my blanket as a child...hand stitched and everything). What a lucky girl to be doted on by not one but 3 grandmas!

Right after Christmas we went to visit my parents and my grandma. Below is a picture with 4 generations: my kids, me, my dad, and his mom - so cool!

Here is our cute little Christmas bundle

Here is Megan in a Christmas stocking. We did the same thing with Elijah for his first Christmas, but he was only 3 months old at the time and Megan was 8 1/2 months old. The stocking barely fits her.

 This is Elijah in the same stocking at his first Christmas.
