Christmas Joy

We had a great Christmas this year. I love this picture that Chris caught. It is Joshua at Miss Beth's Christmas party as he stood at the back of the crowd with his hands in his pockets taking it all in. Miss Beth calls him an old man because he walks around like this all of the time.

Here are the cousins at Mom Mom's house on Christmas Eve. I was in charge of keeping the kids occupied in the basement while Santa put gifts under the tree so we had fun pretending it was a photo shoot.

Sweet Daniel at 2 1/2 weeks old

Christmas morning Autumn quietly climbed into bed with us while Chris and I pretended to be asleep. I asked if Santa had been to our house and she nodded excitedly. He ate all but 2 of the cookies and left a nice note for them. Here she is first thing in the morning:

When Joshua woke up, he immediately asked for his digger. We had a tree full of gifts to be opened, and he wanted his gift from Christmas Eve that Mom Mom gave him. So he played with it for a while before he even looked at any gifts from Santa.

Autumn was glad for the Wii Sports like Uncle Robbie has.

And she got an American Girl "Kit" doll, which looks a lot like her.

Joshua was in awe when he opened his Tonka dumptruck and backhoe.

Autumn and Brooke had fun on Christmas night at Aunt Carolyn's house.

We had a fun movie night watching "Up" cuddled up under a new blanket from Daddy. All in all a great holiday. Autumn said it was her favorite Christmas ever.
