But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

A Holly Jolly Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. Aaron & I were both really excited this year because it was Levi's first Christmas. It was our opportunity to begin family traditions of our own and put a real focus of Christ. We have been trying to find ways to teach Levi that Christmas is about Jesus, not Santa and presents, and make it fun and exciting all at the same time. We spent much of the holidays with family. We spend part of Christmas Eve with Aaron's family and the other part with my mom's extended family. We had lots of yummy treats and many laughs thanks to charades with Aaron's family.
Christmas morning was awesome! Aaron & I cooked a delicious breakfast and then we read the Christmas story. Levi was so cute opening his gifts. He was always more interested in eating the wrapping and tissue paper than the toy itself. Between grandparents and aunt & uncles, Levi totally racked up. He got lots of fun toys and some really cute clothes. He loves all his new trucks and toys, especially the ones that make lots of noise - thanks everyone! That night we had Christmas dinner with my family. This weekend we had a little Christmas with my mom's family. We got everyone playing Bunco and we had a great time. Aaron's aunt & uncle came down Sunday from Missouri so we were able to spend some time with them as well. It was really nice seeing so much family this year. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and here's to a happy new year.
